Fly. The usual pattern is a road transfer from the last park to Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport, then a domestic flight to Zanzibar. A road-and-ferry journey from the northern parks costs a day you could have spent on the beach. Kilita will put the transfer and the flight on the quote as soon as the last safari night is fixed.
How Kilita plans it
If the safari ends at a Serengeti airstrip, you may fly via Arusha rather than straight to the island. Ask which ticket that is. Build a gap of several hours. Game drives run late, and domestic flights do not wait. The 8-day safari and Zanzibar card, at $2,200 joining or $2,800 private, is one way to buy that sequence as a single plan.
What to do next
- Road to a northern airport, then fly.
- Do not ferry from the Serengeti.
- Leave a gap before the domestic flight.
- Ask whether the flight is via Arusha.
