I recently combined a Zanzibar beach stay with a fly-in safari to Tanzania’s national parks, and the contrast was incredible. After days of turquoise waters and spice tours, a small plane whisked us to the Selous or Ruaha for game drives among elephants and lions. The bush felt wilder after the island’s calm, and the flights were short enough to avoid fatigue. It’s a seamless way to experience two worlds without the long drives.
