The closest Safari trip in Tanzania Mainland from to Zanzibar Island is on Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous Game Reserve), home to more than half of all Tanzanian elephants. Nyerere National Park is located in the southern part of Tanzania along the southern Tanzania safari circuit and offers the best escape from the large tourist crowds in the northern safari destinations like Serengeti while offering you a remarkable wildlife experience. On this 2-day, 1-night trip you can combine a wildlife and beach experience if you are flying to Dar es Salaam and want to connect to Zanzibar Island in a limited time interval.
