Nyerere National Park, on the Tanzanian mainland south-west of Dar es Salaam, is one of the largest protected wilderness areas in Africa. Reaching it from Zanzibar genuinely requires a flight or ferry to the mainland followed by a further transfer, plus park fees and a licensed safari operator — it is not a same-day island excursion, and is realistically planned as a multi-day add-on to a Zanzibar stay rather than a single day trip.

Only book through a properly licensed Tanzania safari operator for the mainland portion.
