Tanzania Bush and Beach Adventure

The flight takes a mere one hour fifteen minutes, seeing you land in the bush in no time. Once you have landed, you will be met at the airstrip and transferred towards your tented camp. Keep your eyes peeled as you experience your first game drive on the scenic journey. Once you have checked into your luxurious tent, spend the afternoon at leisure, lazily spotting game from the camp as you toast to the next three nights in the bush.

The Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa and its wild, rugged plains are home to an astonishing amount of wildlife, including hippos, wildebeest, wild dogs, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes and impalas, to name but a few. With so much game there is plenty of predator action - look out for the Selous lions' grizzly daylight hunting techniques.

Head back to camp to refuel on a delicious meal alfresco before spending the afternoon at leisure, whether fishing or heading back out to the bush on a walking safari. In the evening, dine under the stars as you listen to the bush come alive as nocturnal creatures rise from their slumber.

The flight takes one and a half hours, touching down just before lunch. Once you have cleared customs and paid your marine park fee ($24 per day) you will be met by your driver and privately transferred to your resort. Once you have checked into your room, coconut-fringed beaches and turquoise lagoons await.

Spend the afternoon getting better acquainted with your surroundings, whether snorkelling from the shore or taking a leisurely stroll down the beach before sipping on sundowners back at the hotel, it doesn't get much better than this. You will be spending the next eight nights in this paradise.

Mafia Island enjoys a prime location at the doorstop of Mafia Island Marine Park which, as Tanzania's first marine park, offers some excellent underwater encounters. Home to over 460 species of fish and over 50 genera of corals, there is certainly enough variety to keep drawing divers back underwater. Visit between October and March and you'll also have the unique opportunity to swim alongside the world's largest fish, the gentle giant whale shark.

After enjoying lunch on a deserted sandbank, head back under the sea to explore a different dive site before getting two feet back on dry land for a delicious fresh seafood dinner on the beach as the sun sets.

After a leisurely morning you will be met at your resort and privately transferred to the airstrip in good time for your charter back to Dar es Salaam. The flight should take around 30 minutes.

Once you have landed, check into your indirect international flight back to London Heathrow.
