Tanzania and Zanzibar safaris: all inclusive packages

Safaris in Tanzania and Zanzibar are the perfect combination of savannah adventure and island paradise relaxation: a journey that unites two opposing worlds in one unforgettable African experience.

The first part of the trip takes you to the parks of northern Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara), where you’ll experience close encounters with the Big Five and, during the right months, the great herds of the Great Migration, amidst landscapes of immeasurable beauty.

Then, with the seaside extension to Zanzibar, you’ll immerse yourself in the crystal-clear blue of the Indian Ocean: white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and an enchanting tropical atmosphere. Zanzibar, the Spice Island, offers much more than idyllic beaches: you can savor the history of Stone Town, the local culture, snorkeling and diving among coral reefs, encounter dolphins, or relax in exclusive resorts.

Our Tanzania and Zanzibar safari packages last from 11 to 15 days and start from €2,999 per person: each itinerary balances safari days with beach days, for a complete experience perfect for couples, families, and those who want to conclude an African adventure with the well-being of the dolce vita on the most captivating island in the Indian Ocean.

Why choose a Tanzania and Zanzibar safari?

A trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar combines two contrasting yet complementary experiences: the adrenaline rush of the savannah and the relaxation of the sea. The first part of the journey is spent in Africa’s great parks, including dawn game drives and encounters with the spectacular local wildlife, where lions, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals await. After such intense days, the seaside extension to Zanzibar is the ideal counterpoint: white beaches, Stone Town, and relaxation by the Indian Ocean are the perfect way to end the trip, slowing down rather than rushing.

In a single experience, you can experience safaris in Tanzania’s most iconic parks, immerse yourself in nature and have close encounters with the Big Five, relax and have fun on breathtaking white beaches, and observe the ocean floor, on a trip suitable for families, couples, and honeymooners!

How long does a trip to Tanzania with a beach extension to Zanzibar last?

The packages offered range from 11 days (Happy Family Tour, designed for families) to 15 days (Leopard Tour, the most comprehensive), with intermediate options of 12 days (Rhino Tour) and 13 days (Zebra Tour). Typically, the time is divided between 6–9 days of safari in the parks of northern Tanzania and 4–6 days of relaxation on the beaches of Zanzibar.

How much does a safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar cost?

Prices start from €2,999 per person for the Zebra Tour (13 days), €3,349 for the Rhino Tour (12 days), and reach €3,860 for the Leopard Tour (15 days). The price varies depending on the season, accommodation category and number of participants. For a tailor-made quote, you can contact Safari Avventura directly.

What is the best time to visit Tanzania and Zanzibar?

The dry season (June–October) is ideal for safaris, with low vegetation making wildlife easier to spot and park roads easier to travel on. It is also the period of the Great Migration in the Serengeti. Zanzibar is pleasant almost all year round, except during the rainy seasons (March–May and, to a lesser extent, November).

Is this trip suitable for families with children?

Yes. The Happy Family Tour is specifically designed for families with children, with a more relaxed pace and family-friendly lodges. The other itineraries can also be adapted for families, checking with the agency the recommended minimum age for certain parks and activities.

What is included in Tanzania + Zanzibar packages?

Packages generally include internal transfers, accommodation in selected lodges/hotels, meals as specified in the itinerary, safaris with a guide and 4x4 vehicle, and the connection (domestic flight) between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. International flights, entry visas and travel insurance are generally excluded.

Do I need a visa to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar?

Yes, Italian citizens must apply for a tourist visa valid for both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar (part of the United Republic of Tanzania). It can be obtained online as an e-visa before departure or, in some cases, upon arrival. A passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity is required.

Are vaccinations required for travel?

There are no vaccinations that are absolutely mandatory for travellers departing directly from Italy, with one exception: yellow fever vaccination is required only for those arriving from or transiting through a country at risk, in accordance with the International Health Regulations. Vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies (especially for those who will have contact with animals or take part in outdoor activities) and meningitis (for those travelling during the dry season, June–September) are generally recommended, along with an up-to-date tetanus vaccination and malaria prophylaxis. It is advisable to consult a travel medicine centre at least 4–6 weeks before departure. Travel health insurance is also required in Zanzibar. For complete information, see our guide to vaccination requirements for Tanzania.

How do you travel from Tanzania to Zanzibar?

By a short domestic flight (approximately 1–1.5 hours) from Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport to Zanzibar Airport (Abeid Amani Karume International Airport), usually included in the package arrangements.

Which parks in Tanzania are visited before the beach extension?

Packages typically focus on northern parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire e Lake Manyara) known for the density of fauna and for the Big Five, before continuing towards the beaches of Zanzibar.

What is the difference between the four packages offered?

The Happy Family Tour (11 days) is designed for families; the Zebra Tour (13 days, from €2,999) is the most affordable solution; the Rhino Tour (12 days, from €3,349) balances 7 days of safari and 5 days of beach; the Leopard Tour (15 days, from €3,860) is the most complete, with 9 days of safari in the northern parks followed by a beach extension.

Is it possible to customize the itinerary?

Yes, the itineraries offered can be adjusted based on duration, parks visited, accommodation category, and activities in Zanzibar (snorkeling, diving, Stone Town). Contact the agency directly.

Is it safe to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar?

They are destinations generally considered safe for tourism, with a well-organised tourism sector centred around safaris and coastal resorts. As with any trip, travel insurance is recommended and travellers should check the latest information on Viaggiare Sicuri (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) before departure.
