Combining wildebeest and the Zanzibar safaris
Combining wildebeest and Zanzibar safaris usually offers the most wonderful safari experience to the visitors who flock to Tanzania, especially in Serengeti National Park, where they are interested in seeing these great wildlife animals. More than 2 million wildebeest animals are always involved in this movement, and they are joined by other animals such as zebras and elands. This is the annual event that takes place within the Serengeti National Park, and it is so very interesting. Serengeti National Park is found in the northern part of Tanzania on the northern tourism circuit, and this is the best place in East Africa where visitors can easily see the best wildebeest animals. There are other destinations close to Serengeti National Park and these, among others, include the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Tarangire National Park, and the great Lake Manyara National Park, which is known for its tree-climbing lions.
Yes, although the wildebeest migration is the highlight of the Tanzania safaris, visitors can still combine the wildebeest animals with the safaris to Zanzibar, where they will be able to have enough relaxation on the safe and healthy beaches of the Indian Ocean while enjoying the clear blue water and the white sand. This offers a clearer safari experience, making the place so much more convenient and interesting. The length of a safari, including the wildebeest relocation and Zanzibar safari, is determined by the activities that a person wishes to partake in on the island, as well as how long you wish to remain in the wild to view the hordes of wildebeest. Safaris that involve the relocation of wildebeests in the Serengeti National Park might take three days or more, depending on where the migration is taking place at the time. You can still invest as needed, and depending on your safari budget, you can explore various parts of the national park and even follow the wildebeest groups as they brush over the savannah fields.
A safari to Zanzibar can last 2 to 3 days depending on the time of visit. As the visit may be too short for some visitors, a two-day safari to Zanzibar would suffice.A day is recommended for a journey around Zanzibar Island’s places, for example, the seashores, the old stone town, Prison Island, the old slave market, and the Jozani Forest public park, among other destinations. You can also combine a trip to Zanzibar with a safari to the Serengeti National Park, where you can see the wildebeest migration. Flights from Serengeti National Park to Zanzibar Island are available from several nearby carriers. Departures from Arusha to Zanzibar are also available after witnessing the Serengeti National Park’s wildebeest migration. Following a wildebeest movement in the Serengeti National Park, you can depart from one of the airstrips located throughout the park.
The Serengeti National Park can be reached by car or by air. If you want to go on a safari in northern Tanzania, you may fly to Kilimanjaro International Airport, which is about a 7-hour drive from Serengeti National Park, where you can enjoy viewing the wildebeest migration while on a safari across the endless savannah fields.
Another option for traveling to Zanzibar Island following a wildlife safari in Tanzania’s public stops is to take a cruise from Dar es Salaam. These ships operate daily, and the journey to the island takes approximately two hours. The currency used during a wildebeest migration safari and also on Zanzibar Island is US dollars for visitors, notably for renting lodges, paying park charges, and giving tips. Tanzania shillings (Tshs) are also used for exchanges in Tanzania, so having a few free bills in the local currency while on a tour is recommended. Other fees that may arise during a wildebeest migration safari in Serengeti National Park include park extra charges paid by out-of-state visitors, occupants, and East Africans/residents.
The wildebeest migration can also be seen in Kenya throughout September, October, and November, before the herds of wildebeest return to Tanzania. Despite being chaotic at times, the development of wildebeests follows a clockwise path.
Some of the places to visit in Zanzibar are Stone Town and Changuu Island, sometimes known as Prison Island, where you may witness goliath turtles. Some of Zanzibar’s shores include Nungwi, Jambiani, Paje, Bwejuu, Matemwe, Kizimkazi, and countless other sites that can be explored in a variety of ways, including cycling, driving, or boat tours. Various types of travelers visit Zanzibar Island to enjoy unwinding on the white sand seashores and also partake in the perspectives on the Indian sea, the marine life of Zanzibar, and the various cultures of the local people around the island.
Zanzibar is also well known for its taste visits, which have been produced on the island for quite some time. These flavors are derived from citrus cultivars present on the island, which may also be visited during a vacation on the island. Among the flavors are vanilla, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, stew, and dark pepper.
