General Itinerary
The first part of your adventure takes place at a beachfront hotel in Zanzibar, Tanzania, Africa. This intimate, beautiful place has an aura of tranquillity and spaciousness, with its lush tropical garden. A few short steps lead you to the beach, welcoming you into the turquoise blue sea of the Indian Ocean.
Sun Salute Africa is located in Zanzibar, on the northern tip of the island, which boasts some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. There are 2 yoga spaces facing west, overlooking the ocean, for perfect sightings of the setting sun while you practice.
Our next destination then takes us on a small flight from beach to bush, to the continent where we begin our 3-night 4-day safari to hopefully see the “Big Five”.
After the safari, we will spend one more night enjoying the magnificent views from a lodge nestled in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, just a few minutes away from the Machame Gate entrance to Kilimanjaro National Park.
Your investment is $ 3,900. USD per student* or $ 4,250 after October 12, 2026
*Earlybird discount up to 5 months before the trip.
Zanzibar - Indian Ocean views
Our beachfront hotel in Zanzibar is a short walk from numerous restaurants and bars. You will discover plenty of options for lunch. Each individually styled cottage has spacious rooms and large verandas. Breakfast can be served on your own cottage veranda. All rooms are double-occupancy, either with 2 single beds or a double bed upon request. A single supplement is also available for an extra fee. All rooms have an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, a ceiling fan and a refrigerator. Some cottages may have a sitting room.
Hammocks and loungers are distributed in the sunbathing area facing the beach, in the garden and around the swimming pool. Relax in a hammock with a good book, sunbathe in the area facing the turquoise-blue ocean and white beach, or lounge around the swimming pool in the garden. The tropical gardens have a mixture of coconut palms, Casuarina trees, Frangipani trees, banana trees and flower beds full of colorful plants set amidst the lawns.
Dining
Chef prepares meals that blend international and local cuisines. There is a variety of fish dishes as well as chicken, meats and vegetarian dishes. The daily fish is locally sourced in Nungwi, a nearby fishing village, and served at candlelit tables set close to the sea under a canopy of shade trees.
Snacks are available for extra cost throughout the day and can be taken either on the cottage veranda or whole sunbathing in the pool area. Those with serious food allergies or dietary restrictions may want to choose another destination for their retreat.
The Safari
Tanzania is the ultimate safari dream destination. With a vast array of experiences coupled with the country's dedication to preservation, you can be assured of an amazing holiday that will stay with you forever. You will be sleeping under the stars in tented lodges among the wildlife. The safari will be 4 days and 3 nights. We will be visiting Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks and will most likely get to see the BIG 5!!!
