Tanzania & Zanzibar Safari Holiday
Witness the Great Migration – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari
Experience the beauty of the Serengeti during one of nature’s most spectacular events: the Great Migration. From the wildlife-rich northern parks of Tanzania to the stunning shores of Zanzibar, this 11-night safari blends private game drives with great safari lodges and an all-inclusive beachfront resort . With return flights from London Gatwick, a private 4×4 safari vehicle, and your own English-speaking guide, every day will be unforgettable!
Why travel during the Great Migration? Because this is when the Serengeti ecosystem erupts with life. Vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles sweep across the plains in their millions, trailed by predators and framed by golden savannahs. The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular wildlife events, taking place annually across the vast plains of East Africa. It involves over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, moving in a continuous cycle through Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing and water. This epic journey typically begins around June to July, when the herds leave the dry Serengeti and head north toward the greener pastures of the Mara. Along the way, they face dramatic challenges — from predators like lions and crocodiles to treacherous river crossings at the Mara and Grumeti Rivers. The migration is driven by the seasonal rains and the instinct for survival, creating a breathtaking safari experience that showcases the beauty of the African wilderness.
Your Safari at a Glance
Where You’ll Stay & What You’ll See
Africa Safari Arusha – 1 Night (Full Board)
Ease into your safari in the shadow of Mount Meru. Arusha’s leafy setting is the perfect prologue to the wild days ahead. Nearby forests and foothills host black-and-white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and a chorus of tropical birdlife — a gentle introduction to Tanzania’s biodiversity.
Africa Safari Manyara Escarpment – Lake Manyara – 1 Night (Full Board)
Perched above the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara shimmers with life. Here, iconic tree-climbing lions lounge on acacia branches, elephants move silently through groundwater forests, and flamingos sweep the lake’s edge in pink ribbons. With over 400 recorded bird species, it’s a paradise for birders and photographers alike.
Africa Safari South Serengeti – Lake Ndutu – 1 Night (Full Board)
Welcome to the heart of the Great Migration. Lake Ndutu lies within the Serengeti ecosystem, where seasonal grasses nourish colossal herds. Expect scenes straight from a wildlife documentary: endless columns of wildebeest and zebra, cheetahs scanning from termite mounds, lions patrolling the plains, and hyenas shadowing the movement of the herds. Every drive reveals a fresh chapter in the saga of predator and prey.
Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma – 1 Night (Full Board)
Set close to the Serengeti’s western corridor, Ikoma places you amid year-round action. Look for the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — alongside giraffe, topi, impala, and warthog. Sunrise and sunset game drives are magical here, when soft light ignites the grasslands and silhouettes of acacia trees stretch across the horizon.
Africa Safari Maasai Boma – 1 Night (Full Board)
Enjoy an authentic cultural encounter in a Maasai Boma. Meet families, learn traditional dances, and hear stories of a pastoral way of life that has thrived for centuries on these plains. Surrounding savannahs host roaming zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest — a timeless tableau of East Africa.
Africa Safari Lake Natron – 1 Night (Full Board)
Otherworldly and unforgettable, Lake Natron’s mineral-rich waters glow red and pink under the sun. This remote soda lake is a vital breeding ground for thousands of lesser flamingos. With the dramatic cone of Ol Doinyo Lengai — the “Mountain of God” — as your backdrop, this stop delivers striking photography, peaceful walks, and a true sense of wild solitude.
Reef and Beach Resort Zanzibar – 4 Nights (All Inclusive)
After your wildlife-packed safari, trade grasslands for turquoise seas. On Zanzibar’s pristine southeast coast, sink into white-sand beaches, snorkel vibrant reefs, or wander the spice bazaars and UNESCO-listed Stone Town. Cocktails at sunset, warm Indian Ocean breezes, and starlit skies provide a blissful finale to your African safari.
