East Africa Luxury Holidays

In beautiful destinations such as Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, you can look forward to an abundance of pristine beaches, rugged mountains, vast savannahs and wildlife safaris.

Unquestionably one of Earth’s most captivating regions, our holidays in East Africa offer extraordinary landscapes and warm, welcoming people.

Kenya

Renowned for its safaris, Kenya is the go-to place to see wild animals in their natural habitat. This picturesque country is home to sprawling deserts and national parks where all kinds of exotic wildlife roam. Azure holidays take you to the heart of the savannah, where you can wake up to the sight of wildebeests, zebras and elephants huddled around a waterhole.

As well as the chance to see some spectacular animals, the beauty of Kenyan landscapes is hard to beat, from scorching deserts to snow-capped mountains, with palm-fringed beaches to boot. A pioneer of environmental conservation, Kenya is known for its dedication towards protecting both the wildlife and the culture of its people.

Tanzania

Tanzania is the land of the Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro. There’s plenty of scope for adventures in this vibrant country, whether it’s mountain climbing, hot air balloon flights or exploring national parks.

Azure holidays in Tanzania invite you to stay in some of the country's most scenic locations and see wildlife up close. Make base in one of our luxurious lodges for the chance to encounter elephants, chimpanzees, hippos, giraffes and even lions.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, sun-soaked getaway, Tanzania also has many alluring beaches on the Indian Ocean coastline, where you can sink your toes into powder-soft sand and admire the stunning sea views.

The majestic Mount Kilimanjaro is a must-see when on holiday in Tanzania. Not only is it Africa’s highest mountain, but it also contains the world’s highest, free-standing volcano. Those who fancy a challenge can brave the famously long mountain trek - but remember that this difficult ascent can take several days to complete and is certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Zanzibar

Though officially a region of Tanzania, Zanzibar has a unique cultural heritage all of its own. It’s an island paradise where you can wander narrow streets among ancient sultans’ palaces, Portuguese forts and lush gardens.

The island has a thriving spice industry, with many working plantations that grow vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and other fragrant seasonings. Meanwhile, the island’s sprawling coastline is home to a thriving fish industry. Head to the harbours to see the fishing boats setting sail for the day’s catch, many of which will end up on the local restaurant menus.

Zanzibar’s coastlines have the reputation of being home to some of the most idyllic resorts in the world. An Azure holiday to this archipelago centres around the beautiful shorelines, where guests can choose to explore the landscapes or simply relax and unwind with lazy beach days.

Azure’s resorts in East Africa cater for all needs, whether you’re looking for a laid-back getaway, a holiday filled with activities and adventures, or a mixture of the two. Why not contact our friendly team today to find out more about our bespoke holiday packages?
