How to Combine Safari and Zanzibar for the Perfect Holiday
Combine Safari and Zanzibar for the Perfect Holiday
Why choose between the wild savannah and the turquoise sea when you can have both? Tanzania is one of the few destinations in the world where you can watch lions hunt in the Serengeti in the morning—and be sipping fresh coconut water on a white-sand beach in Zanzibar by sunset.
At Sasatrip, we specialize in crafting seamless safari + beach combos that give you the best of both worlds. Here’s how to make it happen—without stress, with style, and with memories to last a lifetime.
Step 1: Start with the Safari of Your Dreams
Tanzania’s national parks offer some of the richest wildlife viewing on Earth. Begin your journey with a 3 to 7-day safari through any of the following iconic locations:
Serengeti National Park – For the Great Migration & big cats
Ngorongoro Crater – For the Big Five in one incredible caldera
Tarangire National Park – For elephants and baobabs
Lake Manyara – For flamingos and tree-climbing lions
Sasatrip Tip: The dry season (June–October) is ideal for safaris, but November–March offers lush scenery and fewer crowds.
Step 2: Fly Directly to Zanzibar
After your safari, hop on a short domestic flight from Arusha, Seronera (in Serengeti), or Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar. Flights take 1 to 2 hours and are available daily.
Don’t worry about the logistics—we’ll book everything for you, including transfers to your lodge or resort.
Step 3: Choose Your Ideal Zanzibar Beach Stay
Once you arrive in Zanzibar, the pace slows, the air turns salty, and the adventure turns tropical.
Choose a beach based on your style:
Nungwi or Kendwa – Vibrant beach life with swimmable waters
Paje – For kitesurfing and barefoot beach cafes
Matemwe – Quiet, upscale, and ideal for honeymooners
Kizimkazi – Dolphin-watching and local culture
Whether you want barefoot luxury or cultural immersion, we’ll match you with the perfect spot.
