Tanzania wildlife and Hiking Safari from Zanzibar : Yes, it is quite possible to travel to Zanzibar and then have a safari in Tanzania. The demand for Tanzania safaris that depart from Zanzibar Island increases as more people book their Zanzibar beach vacations. Though the island contains a wildlife sanctuary called the Jozani forest, which is renowned for its endangered red colobus monkeys, it is obvious that Zanzibar is more well-known and popular for its stunning white sand beaches for devoted honeymooners than for wildlife safaris.
Since Zanzibar is not known for its wildlife safaris, it is crucial to connect it to Tanzania’s mainland, which is known for its famed national parks like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, which are home to the great wildebeest migration and the “big five” animals, respectively. Typically, safaris that leave from Zanzibar take you to national parks in mainland Tanzania where you can interact with the well-known Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit or the adjacent Southern Tanzania Safari Circuit.
A Tanzania safari from Zanzibar is one of the most unforgettable safari experiences because you get to experience and enjoy both the stunning, spotless beaches of Zanzibar Island and the best wildlife safaris and game drives in Tanzania, not to mention cultural safari tours and hiking tours. Everybody may have a great and once-in-a-lifetime safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
There are numerous safari itineraries that involve both Tanzania and the island of Zanzibar, which will make your safari truly fantastic and delightful. The route that begins in Tanzania and ends at the beaches of Zanzibar is the most highly recommended. You can begin your safari in Tanzania by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which takes 8 to 9 days to complete. After that, you can go on game drives through the Serengeti National Park or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Finally, we advise that you finish your trip by unwinding on some of Zanzibar’s most stunning beaches.
The most significant factor and benefit is that Tanzania and Zanzibar Island are both connected to one another by various means of 24 hour transportation, including air transportation and water transportation, although air transportation is the most advised method for traveling from one location to another.
