Frequently asked questions

How long is the flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti?

The domestic flight typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on which airstrip in the Serengeti you land at, with several options including Seronera, the Grumeti area and others depending on where the migration is concentrated at the time of your visit.

Is the wildebeest migration guaranteed?

The migration is a year-round event in the Serengeti rather than a single-season phenomenon, so some element of it is always present somewhere in the park. The specific phase you see, calving on the southern plains, the river crossings in the north, or the main herds moving between zones, depends on your travel dates.

What does the price include?

Return domestic flights between Zanzibar and the Serengeti, all airstrip and hotel transfers, 2 nights of lodge or tented camp accommodation on full board, all park fees, and a private vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide.

Can I book this as an add-on to a longer Zanzibar holiday?

Yes, this is a standalone package designed specifically to sit alongside a Zanzibar beach stay. Let us know your Zanzibar hotel and dates when booking so we can align the flight connections.
