“The most popular parks for a 3-day safari from Zanzibar are Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) and Mikumi National Park, both in the south of Tanzania. These are two of the best parks anywhere in East Africa.
You may be able to fly directly from Zanzibar to either of these parks, or in the case of Nyerere, to the airstrip just outside the park’s main eastern gate. Another (often cheaper) option is to fly to Dar es Salaam and go on a driving safari to Saadani National Park, which is along the coast not far from Dar.
Given that you’ll be flying, you could also reach some of the parks in Tanzania’s north on a fly-in safari from Zanzibar. These might include Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park or Tarangire National Park.”
