Red Colobus Monkey Safari: Summary
Red Colobus Monkey Safari in a nutshell
This suggested itinerary combines a luxurious safari lodge in southern Tanzania with a stay on Zanzibar, including historic Stone Town and a vibrant beach resort.
Your first stop is the remote Ruaha National Park, with its outstanding wildlife, in particular big populations of lions and elephants which can be found throughout the park. Ikuka Safari Camp has seven beautifully designed rooms and panoramic views over Ruaha.
From Ruaha, you fly to Zanzibar for two nights at the boutique Emerson Spice in Stone Town. This converted palace is packed full of Zanzibari charm and character and makes a great base for exploring the old town. Visit the cathedral and the excellent museum of the slave trade and wander the maze of shop-lined streets, before finishing the day watching the sunset over the harbour.
Leaving Stone Town you’ll be driven north to Zuri Zanzibar on the pretty north-west coast of the island. Opened in 2018, Zuri Zanzibar is a luxury beach resort on a palm-fringed stretch of beach. With 55 bungalows, a lively atmosphere and plenty of activities and facilities, this is the perfect place for rest and relaxation following your safari.
