Zanzibar isn’t just paradise for beach lovers — it’s also the perfect starting point for an unforgettable African safari. If you're relaxing in Stone Town or soaking up the sun on Nungwi Beach, you’re just a short flight away from some of Africa’s most iconic national parks like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Manyara.
