Why the Indian Ocean Islands Pair Perfectly with Safaris
An African safari is exhilarating — days filled with game drives, wildlife encounters, and breathtaking landscapes. But after the dust of the savannah, many travelers crave a soft landing: warm turquoise seas, white-sand beaches, and luxury resorts. That’s why combining a safari with the Indian Ocean islands — Seychelles, Zanzibar, and Mauritius — is the perfect way to end your journey.
