Experience the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration on a 7-day safari from Zanzibar. Explore Africa’s wildlife wonders and enjoy thrilling game drives.

What to See:

1. The Great Wildebeest Migration: One of the most impressive wildlife events in the world, the Great Wildebeest Migration sees over a million wildebeests, along with zebras and gazelles, moving across the vast Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing land. If you’re visiting during the right time, you’ll have the chance to witness the dramatic river crossings, where herds face predators like crocodiles and the strong current of the river.
2. The Big Five: Serengeti is home to the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. With expert guides, you will have a chance to track and observe these majestic animals in their natural habitats. The Serengeti’s vast landscape offers ample opportunities to spot lions hunting or resting, elephants and buffalo herds grazing, and the elusive leopard perched high in trees.
3. Predator Action: The Serengeti is one of the best places to see predators in action. Watch as lions work together to hunt, see cheetahs sprinting across the plains in a hunt, and catch a glimpse of the stealthy leopards hiding in the trees. The migration attracts a large number of predators, so expect plenty of thrilling predator-prey interactions.
4. Scenic Landscapes: The Serengeti’s sweeping plains, dotted with acacia trees, provide a breathtaking backdrop for your safari adventure. From sunrise to sunset, the landscape changes in mesmerizing ways, offering some of the best photo opportunities in Africa. The Seronera River, Grumeti River, and Mara River offer lush, fertile areas, while the open plains provide an ideal setting for game drives.
5. Birdlife: With over 500 bird species in the Serengeti, the park is a haven for birdwatchers. Look out for vultures, Secretary birds, African Fish Eagles, and various species of storks and flamingos. The migration also brings a wealth of migratory birds to the region, making it an exciting destination for birding enthusiasts.

How to Dress on Safari:

1. Neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, brown, and green is recommended for blending into the environment and avoiding attracting insects.
2. Lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal for the warm days, with a fleece or jacket for the cooler mornings and evenings in the Serengeti.
3. Comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots are best for game drives and optional walking safaris.
4. Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses are necessary for protection from the strong sun.
5. If traveling during the green season (November to May), bring a light rain jacket to stay prepared for unexpected showers.

What to Carry on Safari:

1. Binoculars for closer views of wildlife from a distance.
2. A camera with extra memory cards and batteries to capture the breathtaking moments.
3. Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during long game drives.
4. Insect repellent to avoid mosquito bites and other insects.
5. Personal medications and a basic first aid kit for any emergencies.
6. A small daypack to carry your essentials like sunscreen, camera, and snacks.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

1. Dry Season (June - October): The dry season is the most popular time to visit the Serengeti. This is when the wildebeests and zebras are most concentrated, and the river crossings at the Mara River are most spectacular. The dry season offers the best wildlife viewing as animals gather around waterholes, making them easier to spot.
2. Green Season (November - May): The green season brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists. This period is ideal for birdwatching as migratory species arrive, and it’s also the calving season in the Serengeti, which usually occurs from January to March. During this time, the predators are most active, making it an exciting opportunity for predator sightings.
