How do I travel from Zanzibar to the safari parks?

Transfers from Zanzibar are arranged by flight (charter or scheduled) or a combination of ferry plus road transfer depending on the park. We organise all logistics so you have a seamless transfer from Stone Town or your beach resort to the first safari lodge.

How long does it take to reach Mikumi, Selous (Nyerere) or Ruaha from Zanzibar?

Typical transfer times vary: Mikumi by road and ferry/drive combinations can take around 5–8 hours; Selous (Nyerere) and Ruaha are usually reached by a short domestic flight (1–2 hours) followed by a road transfer. Exact timings depend on the itinerary and connection options selected.

Are Zanzibar-departure safaris suitable for families?

Yes. Many itineraries are family-friendly with child-appropriate accommodation and activities. Some lodges have minimum age policies for certain activities—please advise children's ages at booking so we can recommend the best lodge and itinerary.

What is included in a typical Tanzania safari package from Zanzibar?

Most packages include transfers from Zanzibar (as specified), park entry fees, full-board accommodation, scheduled game drives, boat safaris where applicable, an experienced English-speaking guide, and bottled water. International flights, visas, travel insurance, gratuities and optional extras are usually excluded.

When is the best time to take a safari from Zanzibar?

The dry season (June–October and December–March) is generally best for wildlife viewing and road conditions. The green season (November and March–May) brings lush landscapes, fewer crowds and excellent birding, though some roads may be affected by rain.

Can I customize a Zanzibar to Tanzania safari itinerary?

Absolutely. All itineraries are fully customizable — you can change duration, upgrade accommodation, add or remove parks, include domestic flights or boat safaris, and add cultural or beach days. Contact our reservations team for a tailored quote.

What health precautions and vaccinations are recommended for Zanzibar and Tanzania safaris?

Malaria prophylaxis is recommended for Zanzibar and many safari areas. Ensure routine vaccinations are up to date and check Yellow Fever requirements depending on your travel origins and onward destinations. Consult a travel clinic before departure for personalised medical advice.

What is the baggage allowance for domestic flights on Zanzibar-departure safaris?

Domestic and charter flights often have strict baggage limits (commonly 15–20 kg per person including hand luggage). Excess baggage can sometimes be arranged at extra cost; we advise packing light and confirming limits at booking.

How do I book and what are the payment/cancellation terms for Zanzibar safari packages?

To secure a booking a deposit is normally required with the balance due before travel. Cancellation and refund terms vary by lodge and flight supplier; some components may be non-refundable within certain windows. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance and will provide full terms at booking.
