HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SAFARI FROM ZANZIBAR
Planning a safari in East Africa can initially seem overwhelming. With a myriad of decisions to make—from the ideal time to visit and the specific national parks to explore, to choosing accommodations and determining how long to spend in each location—it's easy to feel stressed out. However, we’re here to guide you through this exciting journey! By breaking down the essential components of your trip, we can help you craft an unforgettable experience tailored to your interests and preferences.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS
When preparing for a safari in Tanzania, it's essential to ensure you have the necessary travel documents. All travelers must possess a current passport, which should have at least six months of validity remaining from the date of entry into Tanzania. Additionally, tourist visas for Tanzania can be obtained in advance through the nearest Tanzanian embassy or purchased upon arrival at the airport or border crossing. Make sure to organize these details ahead of your trip for a smooth experience.
VACCINATIONS
Proper health preparations for the trip are your responsibility. You may be able to get your vaccinations from your own physician, but a travels clinic will be more familiar with the necessary vaccines and can also provide other helpful information. Be sure to also discuss malaria prevention with the travel clinic.
TRAVEL AND MEDICAL INSURANCE
East Africa Choice Safaris does not provide insurance for travelers. Speak with your travel agent or airline about options for travel insurance to cover personal accident, medical expenses and medical evacuation, repatriation, trip cancellation and loss of personal effects.
CLOTHING
When traveling, expect varied weather and plan to layer clothing that can be adjusted throughout the day. Choose mix-and-match separates in neutral colors to avoid attracting tsetse flies; steer clear of black and blue. Opt for modest attire, avoiding sleeveless tops and short bottoms. Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes for rough terrain and sandals for safari. Most days will be sunny, so don’t forget sun protection: a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
MONEY ON SAFARI IN EAST AFRICA.
It is essential to be aware that while our Friends of Africa Family Safaris itineraries include key components such as accommodation, meals, park entry fees, and game drives, there may be additional costs that arise during your trip.
These additional expenses can include items such as alcoholic beverages, souvenirs, snacks, laundry services, and tips for your driver.
In Tanzania, the US Dollar is the accepted currency for tourism, and we recommend budgeting approximately $30 to $50 USD per day to cover incidental expenses and tips. This will help ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable safari experience.
TIPPING IN EAST AFRICA
Tipping is a customary practice in the context of safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs. It is advisable to consider the following guidelines for tipping:
- For your safari driver, a recommended amount is $20 USD per day per group.
- If you have a safari cook while camping, consider tipping between $10 and $15 USD per day.
- For your Kilimanjaro climbing guide, a suggested tip is $20 USD per day.
- Additionally, for Kilimanjaro climbing porters, a tip of $10 to $15 USD per day is appropriate.
You have the option to make all these payments at once, either at the conclusion of your safari or after your Kilimanjaro climb.

Questions About 3-Day Tanzania Safaris From Zanzibar
What are the best parks to visit on a 3-day safari from Zanzibar?
"The top destinations for a 3-day safari from Zanzibar are Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) and Mikumi National Park, both located in southern Tanzania. These parks are among the finest in East Africa.
You can often fly directly from Zanzibar to these parks, particularly to an airstrip near Nyerere's main eastern gate. Another cost-effective option is to fly to Dar es Salaam and drive to Saadani National Park, which is nearby on the coast.
Alternatively, you could opt for a fly-in safari to some of northern Tanzania's renowned parks such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, or Tarangire National Park."
Is the south or north of Tanzania better for a 3-day safari from Zanzibar?
"Most travelers on a 3-day safari from Zanzibar prefer parks in southern Tanzania, such as Nyerere or Mikumi National Parks, because they are quicker to reach, allowing more time for the actual safari experience. This is crucial when you only have three days.
Saadani National Park is another option. Although it may have less wildlife, its proximity to Zanzibar minimizes travel time.
Visiting northern parks on a 3-day safari is possible but involves more logistics. Typically, you'll need to fly from Zanzibar to Arusha and then take another flight to your chosen park, consuming more time."
Are three days enough for a safari from Zanzibar?
"A 3-day safari from Zanzibar is the minimum recommended duration to enjoy the experience fully. Typically, you'll fly from Zanzibar to the park on the first day, spend two nights there, and return on the third day. This schedule allows for at least four game drives or a combination of game drives and a boat excursion if visiting Nyerere National Park.
With three or four game drives, timed for early mornings and late afternoons when animals are most active, you'll significantly increase your chances of seeing a variety of wildlife."
Are all 3-day safaris from Zanzibar fly-in safaris?
"Yes, a 3-day safari from Zanzibar will involve a flight to the mainland, as Zanzibar itself doesn't offer a true safari experience. While the island has some wildlife parks, they resemble zoos.
The shortest flying option is to Saadani National Park near Dar es Salaam, which you can reach by flight or boat followed by a drive. Most other options, like Nyerere or Mikumi National Parks, require a direct flight to the park.
Most 3-day safaris from Zanzibar are fly-in safaris, where you fly to an airstrip within or near the national park and are then transported to your accommodation."
How much does a 3-day safari from Zanzibar cost?
"For a budget-friendly 3-day safari from Zanzibar, consider a camping trip to Saadani National Park, costing around $200 to $250 per person per day. This typically includes transfers, park fees, accommodation, food, some drinks, a guide, and game drives. You might be expected to help with some camp chores.
For a more luxurious experience in parks like Nyerere or Mikumi, prices start at $400 per person per day and can rise significantly for high-end accommodations. Safaris to northern parks may be even more expensive due to additional flight costs."
