Experience safari, enjoy Zanzibar
First the wild side of Tanzania, then the sea
A safari through Tanzania followed by relaxing days on Zanzibar. Two
completely different sides of Tanzania, combined into one special journey.
Safari and Zanzibar? Why not both?
A safari is full of impressions: wild animals, vast landscapes, early game drives and unforgettable moments in nature. Afterwards, it is time to slow down.
A stay on Zanzibar gives you the chance to end your journey on the Indian Ocean. With white sandy beaches, warm waters, a tropical atmosphere and completely different experiences from those on the mainland.
Safari and Zanzibar are a wonderful combination.
Your journey. Your combination.
Zanzibar does not have to mean just a few days on the beach.
Depending on what you want from your journey, your stay can be designed in very different ways:
🏝️ Relaxing beach days
Simply arrive, switch off and enjoy the sea
🌴 Explore the island
Discover beaches, small villages and the unique atmosphere of Zanzibar.
🏛️ Culture & history
Explore Stone Town and discover another side of the island.
🤿 Ocean & activities
Snorkelling, diving, boat trips or other experiences in the Indian Ocean.
How much Zanzibar would you like?
Whether you want just a few days after your safari or a longer extension, both are possible.
3–4 nights
A short break by the sea after your safari.
5–7 nights
Enough time to relax and enjoy a few experiences on the island.
Longer
If you want Zanzibar to be a bigger part of your Tanzania journey.
Where to stay in Zanzibar?
Not every part of Zanzibar feels the same.
North
Nungwi and Kendwa are known for beautiful beaches, swimming and sunsets.
East
Paje and Jambiani offer a quieter atmosphere and are also popular for kitesurfing.
Stone Town
History, culture, markets and the unique atmosphere of the historic old town.
You do not have to decide on a particular area before your journey. The right region depends on how you want to spend your time on Zanzibar.
Tanzania: savannah and sea
Savannah. Wildlife. Vast landscapes.
And then:
Sea. Palms. Islands.
That contrast is exactly what makes combining a safari with Zanzibar so special.
