Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Safari & Beach Packages

Combine an unforgettable Tanzania safari with a relaxing Zanzibar beach holiday. Spend your days looking for elephants, lions and other wildlife in Tanzania's national parks, then slow down on Zanzibar's white-sand beaches, explore Stone Town or enjoy the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Our private Tanzania safari and Zanzibar packages can be arranged from 5 to 14+ days, depending on how much time you have and what you want to see. Choose a classic Northern Circuit safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro, explore the quieter Southern Circuit, or start your safari directly from Zanzibar.

Every itinerary can be adjusted around your travel dates, budget, accommodation preference and interests. Whether you want more time in the national parks, a slower safari pace, or several relaxing days on the beach, we can tailor the trip around your plans.

Popular with: couples, honeymooners, families, first-time visitors and travelers who want both wildlife and beach time.

Safari & Beach Combination

Why Combine a Tanzania Safari With Zanzibar?

A safari and Zanzibar holiday gives you two very different sides of Tanzania in one trip. You can spend part of the journey in the wilderness and then slow down on the Indian Ocean coast.

01

Wildlife Adventure + Beach Relaxation

Start with game drives, wildlife and open landscapes, then move to Zanzibar for beaches, warm water and a slower pace. The contrast makes the two parts of the holiday complement each other.

02

Convenient Safari-to-Zanzibar Connections

Domestic flights can connect Zanzibar with safari areas on the mainland, making it possible to combine the two without adding a long overland journey to your holiday.

03

One Holiday, Two Experiences

Instead of choosing between a wildlife trip and a beach holiday, you can combine both. The route can be arranged around your available time, safari interests and Zanzibar stay.

Planning the combination? Our detailed guide explains how to combine a Tanzania safari with Zanzibar, including practical route ideas and different ways to divide your time between the mainland and the island. Read the Zanzibar Beach & Safari Combination Guide .

Choose Your Safari Route

Northern Tanzania or Southern Tanzania + Zanzibar?

There is no single best safari route for everyone. The right choice depends on the wildlife you want to see, how much time you have and whether you prefer the classic Northern Circuit or a quieter Southern Tanzania safari before relaxing in Zanzibar.

Northern Circuit

Northern Tanzania + Zanzibar

Best for first-time visitors and classic wildlife experiences

A Northern Circuit safari is the classic choice if seeing Tanzania's most famous wildlife destinations is your priority. The route can combine several of the country's best-known parks before continuing to Zanzibar.

  • Tarangire National Park
  • Serengeti National Park
  • Ngorongoro Crater
  • Lake Manyara National Park

Southern Circuit

Southern Tanzania + Zanzibar

Best for fewer crowds and a different safari experience

Southern Tanzania offers a different atmosphere from the Northern Circuit. Nyerere and Mikumi are especially practical for travelers connecting from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar, while Ruaha can be added when you have more time.

  • Nyerere National Park
  • Mikumi National Park
  • Ruaha National Park for longer trips
  • Game drives combined with boat or other wildlife experiences

Safari From Zanzibar

If your holiday begins on Zanzibar, you do not necessarily need to travel to Arusha first. Depending on your available time, you can fly from Zanzibar to safari destinations such as Nyerere, Mikumi or other mainland parks and return to the island afterwards.
