A few days of wildlife followed by a few days on a warm beach is the classic Tanzanian holiday. Here is how to plan it well.
How to split your days
With ten days, many people choose about six days of safari and four on Zanzibar. A shorter option is a 3-day safari plus four nights on the beach. Our 10-day Tanzania and Zanzibar safari starts from €1,888 per person. If you want a quiet island week, see the 7-day Zanzibar adventure, from $755.
Safari first or beach first?
Safari first is usually better. The safari days are early and active, and the beach is the reward at the end, so you finish rested before your flight home.
Short on time? Fly in from Zanzibar
If you are already on the island, the 2-day fly-in safari gives you Tarangire and Ngorongoro in two days, with flights included.
When to go
June to October is the dry season for safari. The March to May rains are greener and quieter. See the best time to visit Tanzania and our Zanzibar travel guide.
Couples and families
Couples may prefer a shorter safari and a longer beach stay, see couples safari. Families can read Tanzania family safari holidays.
