—    SAFARI FROM ZANZIBAR EXPLAINED    —

Zanzibar Has the Beaches. Tanzania Has the Safari.

Zanzibar is where travelers come to slow down — white-sand beaches, warm Indian Ocean sunsets and relaxed island life.

But Tanzania's real wildlife safari experience begins on the mainland. Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Nyerere are home to incredible wildlife and unforgettable landscapes.

Just one short flight from Zanzibar can take you into the heart of wild Africa. Beach paradise and safari adventure — easily combined in one extraordinary trip.
