Are all 3-day safaris from Zanzibar fly-in safaris?

  • "Certainly, a 3-day safari starting from Zanzibar will necessitate a flight to the mainland since Zanzibar itself does not provide a genuine safari experience. Although there are some wildlife parks on the island, they are more similar to zoos.

  • The quickest flying option is to Saadani National Park close to Dar es Salaam, which can be accessed by air or boat followed by a drive. Most other locations, such as Nyerere or Mikumi National Parks, require a direct flight to the park.

  • Typically, 3-day safaris from Zanzibar are fly-in trips, where you fly to an airstrip located within or nearby the national park and then are taken to your accommodation."
