Questions About Tarangire Safari from Zanzibar
When is the best time to book a Serengeti safari from Zanzibar to see the Great Migration?
The Migration is a year-round cycle, but the best viewing times for specific events are: River Crossings (July–October) in the North, and the Calving Season (January–March) in the South (Ndutu region). Booking 6-12 months ahead is essential for these peak seasons.
How do you guarantee we will be close to the Great Migration herds?
We use mobile tented camps and real-time tracking intelligence. Our camps strategically relocate several times a year (e.g., to the North for river crossings or the South for calving) to ensure you are always within minutes of the main herds.
Besides the Migration, what other wildlife can I expect to see in the Serengeti?
The Serengeti offers phenomenal viewing of the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino, though Rhino is elusive). It is particularly famous for its high density of Lions, Cheetahs, and Leopards, offering excellent predator-prey action.
How long does the flight take from Zanzibar (ZNZ) to the Serengeti?
The domestic flight from Zanzibar (ZNZ) to a Serengeti airstrip (like Seronera, Kogatende, or Ndutu) typically takes 2 to 3 hours, often including a brief stop or two in Arusha or another airstrip en route.
Is it better to start the safari from Zanzibar or Arusha/Kilimanjaro?
Starting a Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar is much more efficient and practical for travelers already on the island. It eliminates the need for an extra overnight stay in Arusha and is the fastest way to get from the beach to the bush.
What is the required deposit and when is the final payment due for a Serengeti safari?
A deposit (typically 30%-40%) is required to confirm your booking and secure park permits/flights. The remaining balance is usually due 60 days before your safari starts.
Are a Hot Air Balloon Safari or Maasai Village visit included in the package price?
A Hot Air Balloon Safari is an optional add-on (approx. $500 USD) and must be booked well in advance. Visits to local Maasai villages are often available and can be added to your itinerary for a small local fee.
