Where you go, and why
Arusha — Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate
Land and limber up at 'Kiligolf' — the Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate, laid between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro, where zebra wander the rough and the back nine plays toward Africa's highest mountain.
STAY Kiligolf Estate Villas, Arusha
The Serengeti
Fly into the most famous wildlife stage on earth: plains that run unbroken to the horizon, lion prides draped on granite kopjes, cheetah scanning from termite mounds — and, in season, the migration's million-strong river of wildebeest. Dawn drives, bush breakfasts under acacias, and stars beyond counting.
STAY Singita Faru Faru, Grumeti
Zanzibar
End on the Spice Island. Wander Stone Town's labyrinth of carved doors and spice markets — a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in Swahili, Arab and Indian history — then surrender to the north-coast beaches: powder sand, kite-sails on turquoise, a sunset dhow cruise with the muezzin's call drifting over the water.
STAY Zuri Zanzibar, Kendwa

Asked before you booked
How much does Serengeti & Spice Island cost?
Guide price is from US$13,600 per person sharing, excluding international flights. For an exact figure, use the Price a Private Version tool — adjust the nights, rounds and experiences and our quoting engine returns your private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.
How many rounds of golf are on this journey?
1 round are built in — Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate. Every round can be kept, swapped or dropped when you price your private version.
Can my non-golfing partner come?
Absolutely — this is the heart of how we design. While the golfers play, the Gallery programme runs parallel experiences (game drives, spas, wine, walks, markets), and everyone reunites for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.
When is the best time to take this journey?
Best months are Jun · Jul · Aug · Sep · Oct · Feb. We will be honest about the trade-offs of any month you are considering — every season has its version of this trip.
Where will we stay?
Exact, named properties at every stop — on this journey: Kiligolf Estate Villas, Arusha, Singita Faru Faru, Grumeti, Zuri Zanzibar, Kendwa. Every property is hand-picked from our register; none paid for, none reciprocated.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Yes — most visitors use Tanzania's online e-visa (or visa on arrival). It is straightforward, and we guide you through it when you book.
When should I go for the migration or the Crater?
The northern Serengeti river-crossing season runs roughly July to October; the southern calving season, with predators in tow, is January to March. The Ngorongoro Crater is superb year-round. We will time your journey to the spectacle you most want.
Is the golf any good in Tanzania?
There is exactly one championship-standard course — the Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro — and its setting is among the most beautiful in world golf. We will be honest: in Tanzania the wildlife is the headline and the golf is the overture.
