Your Safari Questions Answered

From Tarangire safaris to Stone Town sunsets, here are the top questions travellers often ask us.

This extension is flexible, exciting, and packed with possibilities. But we know you probably have questions about transport, timing, activities, and how the options differ. Below, we’ve listed the most frequently asked questions to help you plan the perfect post-trek adventure, whether you choose Zanzibar, a safari, or both.

The trip starts with a beautiful 9–11-hour bus ride from Moshi to Dar es Salaam. Along the way, you can see Tanzania's beautiful scenery and people going about their daily lives. When you get there, someone will take you to the ferry port. The ride across the turquoise water to Zanzibar is two hours long. A local guide who speaks English will be with you the whole time, and a private transfer will take you straight to your beach resort.

In this option, you can enjoy both nature and rest. It includes a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park and a night spent sleeping in the bush. The next day, you'll go back to Moshi and take a bus to Zanzibar. Follow a knowledgeable tour guide through Stone Town's long past. Then, take it easy at a beach resort for a few days. Transfers, park fees, events, and lodging are all covered, making the trip easy and fun.

It depends on what you like. The beach break in Zanzibar is perfect if you need to rest and recharge after the climb. A 2–5 day tour is the perfect way for animal lovers to get to know the bush. The combo choice lets you see the wild side of Tanzania before going to the island for sun and sea, if you want to have both an exciting and relaxing time. We will help you choose the best one for your time, effort, and money.

The usual option includes a stay at Palumbo Beach Resort, but we can change the accommodations to suit your tastes if you'd rather stay in a boutique lodge or something cheaper..
