About this trip

Join CPT on a 9-day Majestic Experience to Nairobi, Kenya and Zanzibar, Tanzania.


5 DAY KENYA SAFARI ADVENTURE 

Immerse yourself in the best of Kenya with our 5-day itinerary! From a warm welcome in Nairobi to an unforgettable Masai Mara safari, a visit to a Masai village, and a dining experience at the renowned Carnivore restaurant, every moment is designed for unforgettable memories. Explore Nairobi's natural and cultural attractions with a full-day adventure, including Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Center, and The National Museum of Kenya. Conclude your journey with a seamless airport transfer for your onward flight to Zanzibar. Unforgettable experiences await! 


Kenya 

East Africa's most cosmopolitan city, Nairobi is Kenya's beating heart, an exciting, frenetic concrete jungle that counterpoints the untrammeled natural beauty to be found elsewhere in the country. And, believe it or not, the city has its own wildlife attractions, with a fabulous national park on its doorstep and several reserves dedicated to the wellbeing of the Big five- elephants, rhinos, lion, buffalo, leopard, as well as other hosts of wildlife like Zebras, Antelopes, Giraffes, wildebeests, baboons and birds.



4 DAY THE REAL TANZANIA-ZANZIBAR EXPERIENCE

Zanzibar

Step off the plane onto the Zanzibar Archipelago and you’re transported through time and place. This is one of the world's great cultural crossroads, where Africa meets Arabia meets the Indian Ocean.


Embrace yourself in the opulent beauty of all-things Zanzibar with our 4-day itinerary! Start with a full day of relaxation and bask in the blue seas at your resort. Then journey In Zanzibar Town, where the narrow alleys of historic Stone Town meander between ancient buildings decorated with balconies and gigantic carved doors. Next up, tour the coast, see fishing boats set sail, and in the countryside, farmers tend fields of rice or the clove plantations that give Zanzibar its 'Spice Islands' moniker. Take an adventurous boat ride to sand bar in the Indian Ocean and have a tasty seafood lunch. Later in the evening, you'll discover why the world-famous Rock Restaurant is so memorable.

Changing Pace Travel’s Kenya/Zanzibar Trip 1 surpassed all my expectations. After my first viewing of the Maasai Mara men (in their glorious red plaid attire) on YouTube 10 years ago, I knew I had to personally see if they indeed jump as high as 7ft in the air as claimed in the video. I wasn’t disappointed that I witnessed one or two of the men actually jumped as high as 5ft in the air. The excursion to the village and interactions with the Maasai people were inspiring, humbling, and beautiful! I never felt so much joy in that moment and time that I was realizing my dream was coming true! The entire trip curated by our hosts Steve and Nasha was like a seventh heaven smorgasbord! It was FANTASTIC! 🤣 Never a boring moment! From the delicious meals, to the exciting safaris, to bargaining at the local shops, to the entertainment of jungle drums and live music, to the pleasant fragrance of the variety of spices during an excursion, and so much more! Of course the grandest finale of the trip for me was the blessing of standing on one of God’s creations — an exquisite sandbank shaped like a half moon in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I’ve seen pictures of sandbanks, but to stand on this scenic beach walking in white soft, fluffy sand; staring out on to turquoise, clear waters (that seems to bring on thirst); and with blue skies above was soooo MAGICAL! Yes, this trip was all that and MORE! 😉 ~ Lisa Branch, June 2025

This was an amazing trip and for such a large group one of the things I really love is Nasha and Steve don't treat anyone any different, they both have the personalities that make you feel very welcomed whether you are a new traveler or old. The trips only hiccup which had nothing to do with CPT; was the flight that was cancelled without notice or notification which I felt the need to mention because Nasha and Steve handled it like true champs. They were able to keep the group together, found housing, food and re-arrange flights in a short turn-around time which could have been a disaster for even a single person travelling!! So CUDOS to them!! They also did such an AMAZING job by completely preparing us for all items needed, meetings, power points, packing checklist, vaccinations and Visa requirements, etc. they even sent multiple reminders to not miss deadlines and even gave timelines of when to expect to receive items to prevent panic. For an experienced or non-experienced traveler they take away all the stress and frustrations; where you only need to focus on enjoying the trip. Additionally, the trip and itinerary was wonderful giving you the ability to have some down-time in between events, if needed. This was my 2nd trip with CPT and I'm looking forward to #3 Brazil!!!

Jambo Jambo I had such an amazing time traveling to Kenya and Zanzibar with Changing Pace Travel. This trip was not only filled with beautiful moments and unforgettable experiences, but it also gave me the opportunity to reconnect with old travel buddies and make meaningful connections with new friends. One of the most special parts of this journey was being able to personally contribute to the Maasai Tribal village and the Kidichi spice farm. It felt incredibly rewarding to give back and be part of something that supports the local community. To top it all off, this trip marked a huge personal milestone for me—visiting my sixth continent! I’m beyond grateful for the memories, the friendships, and the impact we were able to make together. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

This is another CPT trip that did not disappoint. First, this trip required a lot of required documentation and I appreciate all the planning details and guided examples that went into the preparation for this trip related to all required documentation. Second, I appreciate the quick adjustments CPT makes when there are unexpected challenges on the trip to help ensure travelers do not miss out on any planned experiences. Thirdly, this was a great travel group. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I made many connections plus deeper connections with existing travel buddies. Once again, I experienced many first-time travel experiences. I’m so very grateful to have gone on this trip with Steve and Nasha and I can’t wait for my next one. For future consideration, I would like to recommend that tips be included in the travel costs as it pertains to group excursions (e.g. drivers, travel guides, etc.), if feasible. For individual experiences, such as restaurants, luggage, local transportation, etc. tips can remain discretionary. This may help with traveler tipping anxiety and budgeting. Additionally and personally, following our Tanzania visit, if there was a possibility, I would have preferred to fly back to Nairobi with a free rest day and subsequently fly home the next day. Adding an additional flight to a travel day that already has two and three legs of flights made the travel home extremely exhausting. Alternatively, I could have made the logistical adjustment myself so it’s definitely not a deal breaker, but if it could be incorporated into the trip, that is preferable. Until we travel again…✈️

The best description of my vacation in Bali with Changing Pace Travel Agency is a dreamy escape to the island of the Gods. My recent trip was nothing short of magical. This was my second trip to Bali with CPT Agency and this trip was better than the first one. I needed the serenity and peace that can be found in Bali. From serene landscapes and spiritual landmarks to unforgettable encounters with nature, including visiting the waterfalls, every moment felt. Like stepping into a postcard. We split our stay between two stunning resorts: The Udaya Resort and Spa in Ubud and The Grand Hyatt Bali in Nusa Dua, which gave us the perfect blend of jungle tranquility and beachfront luxury. The Udaya Resort and Spa Ubud Serenity is tucked away in the lush greenery of Ubud, The Udaya was the perfect place to unwind and soak in Bali’s peaceful energy. The resort itself was stunning-beautifully designed with natural elements, a relaxing spa, and warm welcoming staff. While in Ubud, we couldn’t miss the iconic Bali Swing. Taking those famous swing photos with the jungle in the backdrop was thrilling and surprisingly serene. We also had a surreal experience bathing and riding elephants at the local zoo. It was humbling and awe-inspiring to be co closed to these gentle giants, and we appreciated the care the staff took in treating them with respect. Lempuyang Temple - Heveans Gate A highlight of the trip was visiting the Lempuyang Temple, often referred to as Heaven’s Gate. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Though we had to leave the resort very early in the morning and had to wait a bit for our turn to take the iconic photo between the temple gates, the experience was worth every second. The spiritual atmosphere and panoramic vistas made it unforgettable. For the second part of our stay, we moved to the Grand Hyatt Bali. This resort was pure luxury, with its sprawling property, beachfront access, and impeccable service. It was a perfect spot to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy world class amenities. Walking along the private beach offered a real treat. Thank you Steve and Nasha Pace for ensuring that my second trip to Bali was fantastic! Both Bali and CPT agency truly lived up to its reputation and I left this vacation feeling both rejuvenated and inspired. LaWanda

I have recently traveled on my 4th adventure with CPT to the island of Cuba. Once again, CPT did not disappoint. The trip was well planned, Nasha and Steve kept the travelers well informed, they adjusted well to local governmental changes and was professional and accommodating at all times. Thank you CPT for all of my new experiences in Cuba/2025. Until we travel again…

CPT Cuba 2025…oh my! What can I say? Such an amazing 1st time to Cuba and 1st trip with CPT. Steve and Nasha are so very thorough in their planning and providing details to their travelers. One thing I absolutely loved, is how accommodating they were in EVERY aspect. You can’t go wrong traveling with this duo. I am looking forward to my next trip with them to Antingua.
