Away to Africa is excited to introduce our 'Best of Two Islands' Tour highlighting the beautiful islands of Lamu and Zanzibar just in time for end of the year celebrations.

You will begin this tour in Zanzibar, or the ‘black coast’, is a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa. Boasting beautiful beaches, Zanzibar is the perfect place to find relaxation. Walk through the cobblestone streets of Stone Town before learning of the East African slave trade. Wake up oceanfront in Nungwi, spend a day out in the ocean on our Safari Blue Tour and even spend time swimming with large sea turtles.

Next you will travel to the vibrant city of Nairobi for a couple of days before heading to the quaint archipelago of islands known as Lamu. Spend time getting lost in the walkways of Old Lamu Town as this friendly town offers a hidden gem around every corner. Enjoy a dhow experience as you sail through the mangroves or spend your time relaxing on the white sands of Manda Island...either way you will definitely leave with a piece of Lamu in your heart.

Ring in the New Year dancing on the beach under the stars of East Africa. What better way to introduce a blissful year that 2023 has to offer?

Wow. This has been #1 on my bucket list since I was a small child. Choosing to book with Away to Africa helped make my dreams a reality! As for my experience, it was hands down the best time of life. I cried tears of joy every day, and every day was better than the last- from exploring Nairobi, to traveling through the Great Rift Valley to see Maasai Mara and the incredible wildlife, to the beautiful coastal region for the Lamu Yoga Festival. Away to Africa staff were available every step of the way, my guides were knowledgeable and pleasant to spend time with, and the staff at every stop were welcoming and friendly. I couldn't have planned this trip better myself, and have fallen in love with the country, the people, and the spirit. If you haven't been and are looking to change your life, choose Away to Africa.

We celebrated my cousin’s 50th birthday in Ghana and we had a wonderful time! The people were amazing from the tour group to the staff at the venues we visited. The accommodations were great and the activities were exciting and educational. I highly recommend Away To Africa tours and a trip to Accra , Ghana.

The journey started the moment I connected with ‘Away to Africa’, our first interaction left me both excited and inspired. I started mind travelling on what could be, which can be a risky component of travel, as it sets an expectation in motion. After various calls/discussions, it became apparent that Tiffanie and her team wanted to get to the root of what we actually looking to get out of the trip, additionally she was learning about who we are, and what we stand for, so that she can put all the pieces of the puzzle together based on our needs and our values. This did not feel templated, this felt personal. This definitely was not cookie cutter and the trip was set up to provide flexibility where we needed it, which was perfect for us. The moment we arrived we were well taken care of, everything went to plan and beyond, it was the little unexpected details that made the trip from good to great. They adjusted to the trip according and pivoted where they needed to, therefore paying close attention to how we were each day (energy wise – the jet lag from Asia was brutal), and made a plan accordingly and with a smile. Nothing was forced or felt forced. They made adjustments, as they could and as they needed too according to the situation we were facing. Ghana was great, Accra was great, felt like another world. What makes the place is: It’s history, it’s music and mostly it’s people. The people make it so special, the genuine kindness, the joy, the humor, the stories and the love. That’s where the experience lies. There is a buzz happening at the moment and I can’t wait to go back in the future. A big shout out to the Away to Africa team that took care of us on ground. KB, Jackson, you gave us a piece of your paradise and we are grateful and humbled for it. Tiffanie, thank you for getting us there, thank you for hearing us out. You helped create a forever memory for my father, brother and I. And that is beyond special….
