Trip Overview

This trip blends two completely different worlds into one effortless experience — the thrill of a Kenyan safari and the softness of Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches. You’ll wake up surrounded by wildlife one day and unwind by the Indian Ocean the next. It’s the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and relaxation without feeling rushed or overloaded.

From Nairobi’s iconic Giraffe Centre to Stone Town’s historic streets, from cooking with the Mamas of Zanzibar to walking along the sandbank at Nakupenda, this trip is filled with moments you will talk about forever. You’ll explore, connect, rest, and return home feeling like you lived two trips in one.

What Our Travelers Are Saying

"I enjoyed the trip to Mexico that Wander with Wande planned for my group. The questions prior to planning our trip made me feel confident that it would be a customized trip that we'd enjoy. We will definitely use the company again."

"OMG, I don’t know where to start! I already left you a voicemail but please know that this trip was beyond what i expected. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"My birthday was the trip of my dreams and all of that is due to Wande and her thoughtfulness, meticulousness and creativity. All the stops were pulled out and all of the logistics went on without a hitch. It’s no easy feat managing a trip of 20 women coming from different places but Wande handled it all seamlessly. Can’t wait for my next Wander with Wande trip and all 19 of my friends that attended feel the exact same way!!"

Kalane

"Using Wander with Wande to plan my birthday trip to Cape Town was the best decision I made. Everything was planned to the T. I gave her my vision and she over-delivered. She planned every detail and even added in some surprises! She made it so easy to communicate with my guests too. Making payments was super easy. Customer service 10/10. Professionalism 10/10. Organization 10/10, Communication 10/10! I'm never planning a trip by myself ever again!"

Tito

South Africa•2023

"I absolutely enjoyed my trip!!! The attention to detail was amazing. This was my first time doing a girls/group trip for my milestone (30th) birthday and it was perfect! The payment process was seamless and easy to navigate. The vendors Wande paired us with went ABOVE and beyond in their services - especially our driver. We felt safe, and well taken care of. I would do this again over and over! Thanks Wande!!!"

Chelsea

"Wande planned my 30th birthday trip to Cape Town. Every detail was handled incredibly from the big to little things. I didn’t have to worry about a thing it’s still one of my absolute favorite trips. It was a well curated and seamless experience. So much so that from what people saw 3 other friends have also planned trips to CT because they could see how great a time I had"
