With more people booking their Zanzibar beach vacations online, there is an increased need for a Tanzania safari from Zanzibar Island. That is why we decided to introduce our Tanzania safari from Zanzibar packages at the most affordable prices.

It is obvious that Zanzibar is an island and it is known more for its beautiful white beaches. Not much wildlife safari goes on on the island, even though the island boasts of a wildlife area known as the Jozani forest, which is famous for its endemic red colobus monkeys. Our safaris from Zanzibar therefore only take you to the proper national parks on mainland Tanzania where you can explore the famous hot spots of Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit or the nearby Southern Tanzania Safari Circuit.

Last-minute Safari from Zanzibar is one thing we do best! Our Tanzania safari from Zanzibar is a private experience so one can start the safari on any date, and you will be joined by only the travel partners that you are traveling with. Being private tours our Zanzibar safaris can be customized in any way in order to suit your needs, tastes, and budget.

One such short safari that we offer in the Northern Tanzania safari circuit from Zanzibar with the facilitation of a return flight is our 3 days safari in the Serengeti National Park, but also our 3 days safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara which we offer with a return flight from Zanzibar to Arusha the capital of all safaris in Northern Tanzania!
