Which company is best for a safari and Zanzibar beach trip?
No company can be named best from website facts; the choice depends on the trip; the facts split into safaris that fly in or out of Zanzibar (Kilipath African Safaris, Migration Venture Africa, Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris and Uwanda Tours and Safaris), a priced three-night beach extension (Magical Tanzania) and named safari-and-beach packages with set lengths.

How much does a safari and Zanzibar trip cost with a local operator?
Published prices for whole safari trips with a Zanzibar start or beach stay start at $1,050 for Uwanda Tours and Safaris' 3-Day Zanzibar to Nyerere fly-in and reach $8,580 for its 20-Day Tanzania wildlife and Zanzibar trip; extensions are priced separately, from $400 at Magical Tanzania.

Prices are as each site shows them and mix beach-only packages with safari-and-beach trips, so the totals do not compare like for like. Ask each operator to itemise park fees, the Zanzibar hotel, the flight or ferry and the airport transfers.
How many nights do local operators put on Zanzibar after a safari?
Magical Tanzania states three nights, Soul of Tanzania says its extensions are 3 days and SafariBando combines safaris with 3 to 5 days of beach, while most other operators give only the length of the whole trip.

Which safari and Zanzibar trips are private and which are joining group trips?
Lion King Adventures, Ozon Light Tours and Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris say their safaris are private, while Kilipath African Safaris and Suricata Safaris also run joining or group departures; no fact read ties a joining departure to a Zanzibar extension.
