Experience the heart of Tanzania’s Great Migration calving season on this 5-day flying safari from Zanzibar to Central and Southern Serengeti.
Explore Central Serengeti for exceptional Big Five and predator viewing, then continue to the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu area, where vast wildebeest herds gather during the calving season.
Spend two nights in the migration zone searching for newborn calves, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and large herds before flying back to Zanzibar.
