3rd Test + Zanzibar
OUR ITINERARY
4 or 6 night ex: Johannesburg
This experience is designed to take you to the 3rd Test at Johannesburg and then on to beautiful Zanzibar. You can choose to stay at 4, 4.5 or 5 star hotels and choose one of 3 beautiful, beachfront resorts for either 4 or 6 nights. Accommodation is provided on room and breakfast basis or all-inclusive. The package also includes all hotel to airport and return transfers plus the economy seated flight on SAA/Mango between Johannesburg and Zanzibar.
