Masai Mara + Zanzibar

The Masai Mara, Kenya’s enchanted wilderness, weaves a tapestry of magic and wonder. Its golden plains come alive with the Great Migration, a mystical journey of thousands, while Maasai traditions and the starry night sky add vibrant threads to the story. In this land, where silence speaks volumes, the boundary between ordinary and magical fades, leaving an indelible mark on all who venture here, a place where nature’s enchantment is ever-present, and reality is tinged with mysticism.

Zanzibar is an archipelago, consisting of a string of islands in the Indian Ocean just over 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania in East Africa. Unguja, commonly called Zanzibar, is the largest island, and it’s where most visitors spend their time. Zanzibar, also known as the Spice Islands, has been a major source of the world’s supply of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper for centuries.

There is evidence of civilization in Zanzibar dating back 20,000 years. It has seen waves of settlement and colonization from ancient Persian traders to the Portuguese and British. The result is a fascinating modern island with a diverse population and a welcoming spirit towards visitors to their beautiful tropical home.
