Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar

4 DAYS SAFARI FROM ZANZIBAR

Our 4 days Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar package is the best program you can ever take if you have the available time to do a 4 days tour from Zanzibar Island.

This package includes two most prominent wildlife areas in Tanzania; the Serengeti National Park of the wildebeests' migration and big cats fame and the Ngorongoro Crater known for its high concentration of wild animals in the very small area of around 21 Kilometers diameter but still an area where you can spot all the Big 5.

The distance between Zanzibar and the Serengeti National Park is a long way and therefore the only way you can do this tour is by air. We however arrange that flight for you so we try to make it as hassle-free for you as possible. The safari ends at Arusha with a flight back from Arusha to Zanzibar. If however, you want to finish the tour in Arusha, if you are to depart from Kilimanjaro International Airport for example back home, we can deduct that flight cost and drop you back at Arusha Kilimanjaro Airport. Just ask our bale safari experts for that adjustment.
