It is a perfect option for travelers staying in Zanzibar who want to add a safari to their beach holiday.

For a comfortable safari, it is recommended to bring:

• Light and comfortable clothing

• A hat and sunglasses

• Sunscreen

• Camera or binoculars

• Comfortable walking shoes

Neutral colors such as khaki, beige, or green are ideal for safari activities.

However, safaris are available throughout the year, and the green season (November to May) offers beautiful landscapes and fewer tourists.
