Big 5 Safari Focus: Our expertly guided group tours prioritise maximising your chances of spotting the Big Five. Tarangire's abundant elephant and buffalo populations, coupled with the high concentration of all five within the Ngorongoro Crater, make this a prime short safari for incredible wildlife encounters.
Where to Stay: We offer a range of accommodation options to suit different preferences for our travellers. Choose comfortable lodge stays providing amenities and relaxation after exciting Big 5 game drives. For a more immersive experience, budget camping options are also available, allowing you to sleep under the African stars (please inquire about availability for last-minute safari bookings).

2 day group safari from Zanzibar frequently Asked Questions
What does a 2-day group shared safari from Zanzibar include?

We offer a range of accommodation choices to suit different budgets and preferences. You can select comfortable lodge accommodations providing private rooms and amenities, or opt for a more adventurous overnight stay in organized camping sites with provided tents and essential facilities. Availability for each option may vary, especially for last-minute bookings.
Is it likely to see the Big Five on a 2-day shared Tanzania safari?
-
Yes, there's a good chance! Both Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater are habitats for lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. The Ngorongoro Crater, in particular, is known for its high concentration of these iconic animals. However, wildlife sightings are never guaranteed and depend on various factors.
What is the ideal time to book and join a group on 2-day safari from Zanzibar?
-
While last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, especially outside peak season, it's generally recommended to book in advance (ideally a few weeks or months) to secure your preferred dates and accommodation type (lodge or camping) and ensure availability, particularly during the high seasons (June-October & January-February) when demand is higher.
Is a group shared safari a safe way to experience the Tanzanian wilderness?
-
Absolutely. We prioritize guest safety. You'll be accompanied by experienced, licensed, and knowledgeable driver-guides who are well-versed in wildlife behavior and park regulations. It's crucial to follow their instructions at all times.
What are the advantages of choosing a group shared safari?
-
The primary benefits are cost-effectiveness, as the expenses of transportation, guiding services, and park fees are shared among the group, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to a private safari. It also offers a social experience, allowing you to meet and share your adventure with fellow travelers from around the world.
Will there be opportunities to interact with local cultures during this 2-day shared trip?
-
This specific 2-day group shared itinerary is primarily focused on maximizing wildlife viewing opportunities within the limited timeframe. If you are interested in cultural experiences, you can include a visit to local villages or Maasai communities at an extra cost.
How do we get from Zanzibar to the safari?
-
Take a morning domestic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit. Upon arrival, meet your safari guide and fellow travellers and start the transfer to Tarangire National Park to begin your game viewing. The return involves a transfer back to Arusha for an afternoon flight back to Zanzibar on the second day.
What should I pack for a short 2-day safari?
-
Pack light, comfortable, breathable clothing in neutral tones. Essentials include sturdy walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent (especially for evenings), a good quality camera with sufficient zoom, binoculars for better wildlife viewing, and any personal medications.
Is travel insurance necessary for a short safari from Zanzibar?
-
While it might not be mandatory, it is highly recommended to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, delays, and loss of personal belongings and overall peace of mind during your safari adventure.
What is the typical size of a "group" on a shared safari?
-
Group sizes can vary depending on the time of year, but they generally range from 6 to 7 people in a comfortable safari vehicle, ensuring everyone has good visibility for wildlife viewing and can sit comfortably.
Are children allowed on these group safaris?
Yes, children are generally welcome on group safaris, but it's important to consider their comfort levels with long drives and early wake-up calls. Children under 4 are not allowed on a group shared safari from Zanzibar.
Can I extend my 2-day safari to include other destinations?
