Details for the journey
Where untamed beauty meets island serenity — seven days, two countries, fully kosher.
A boutique group journey through East Africa, January 11–17, 2027.
Travel by private charter flights and comfortable safari jeeps, and stay in luxury wilderness lodges and beachfront resorts. Enjoy gourmet kosher meals prepared by our private chefs, and a meaningful Shabbos with davening and meals beside the Indian Ocean.
The journey combines incredible Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Ndutu game drives, right in the middle of the Great Migration and wildebeest calving season. A Maasai village encounter, Zanzibar explorations, and a visit with Nairobi's Jewish community add cultural experiences along the way.
Private charter flights between Nairobi, the Serengeti and Zanzibar
Welcome to East Africa
Arrive in Nairobi and board a private charter flight to Lake Manyara Airstrip in Tanzania.
Upon arrival, visit a traditional Maasai village and gain insight into a way of life that has changed little over centuries. Learn about local customs, daily routines, and community traditions before continuing to the Ngorongoro / Karatu region.
Settle into our luxury lodge, enjoy a welcome dinner, and prepare for the days ahead.
Private charter to Tanzania and a Maasai village visit.
Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti
After Shachris and breakfast, descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater for your first game drive. Once the center of a massive volcano, the crater is home to one of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife.
Explore its open plains, lakes, and grasslands while searching for the Big Five and observing the region's abundant birdlife.
Following a picnic lunch, climb out of the crater and continue west through the Ngorongoro Highlands toward the Serengeti ecosystem.
Arrive in the Ndutu region and enjoy a game drive before reaching your camp for a two-night stay.
Big Five game drive in the crater, then on to Ndutu.
The Great Migration
Today is dedicated to the Great Migration. Travel across the Serengeti plains in search of the vast wildebeest herds that gather here during the calving season.
At this time of year, thousands of calves are born daily, attracting predators from across the region.
Lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, and servals are all active participants in this remarkable cycle.
With wildlife spread across every horizon, the day is spent following the movement of the herds and experiencing one of the most dynamic safari environments in Africa.
A full day with the herds during calving season.
Final Safari & Zanzibar Escape
Enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, maximizing every opportunity for wildlife viewing before departing.
Later, transfer to Ndutu Airstrip and board your charter flight. Continue onward through Kilimanjaro and connect to Zanzibar.
Upon arrival, transfer to your beachfront resort overlooking the Indian Ocean.
The next several nights will be spent balancing exploration, relaxation, and island life.
Last game drive, then charter to Zanzibar.
Discover Zanzibar
Spend the day discovering Zanzibar, an island where African, Arab, Indian, and European influences have blended for centuries.
Begin with a guided visit to a traditional spice farm, walking among cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and tropical fruits. Learn about the island's agricultural heritage and its historic role in the spice trade.
Island adventures — activities at your choice: later, choose from a selection of activities including an ATV adventure through ancient villages and along the coast, a private snorkeling excursion, watersports, or simply time to enjoy the beach.
Return to the resort for a Toamehu lunch before preparing for Shabbos.
Spice farm, island activities, Toamehu lunch.
Shabbos by the Indian Ocean
Following the excitement of safari, Shabbos offers a slower pace beside Zanzibar's white-sand beaches.
Enjoy uplifting davening, beautifully prepared Shabbos meals, and uninterrupted time to relax.
Walk along the shoreline, enjoy the ocean views, reconnect with family and friends, or take a well-earned afternoon nap.
As evening arrives, gather for a Melaveh Malka and a special performance to conclude Shabbos together.
Davening, Shabbos meals and a Melaveh Malka by the sea.
Nairobi & the Journey Home
A morning flight returns you to Nairobi for a final day of cultural experiences.
Visit Kibera, one of Nairobi's largest slums, where you will meet local residents, visit a school, and gain a deeper understanding of daily life within the community.
Continue with a visit to Nairobi's Jewish Center and local shul, meeting members of the Jewish community.
If time permits, stop at a giraffe sanctuary for a close-up encounter with these remarkable animals before transferring to the airport for your flight home.
Kibera, the Jewish Center and shul, then home.
