Great Migration & Zanzibar Safari

Few experiences capture the magic of Africa quite like witnessing the Great Migration, the largest movement of wildlife on Earth. Combine that with the turquoise waters and white sands of Zanzibar, and you have a once-in-a-lifetime safari that blends wild adventure with tropical relaxation.

With Otter African Safaris, your 15-day journey takes you deep into the heart of Kenya and Tanzania, following the thundering hooves of millions of wildebeests and zebras across the Serengeti–Masai Mara ecosystem before unwinding on Zanzibar’s pristine beaches.

Best Time to Go on the Great Migration & Zanzibar Safari

The Great Migration is a year-round phenomenon, but the best time for this 15-day safari depends on what you want to see:

• June – October: The dry season and peak migration months, when herds cross the Mara River, one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles.
• January – March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti is perfect for witnessing baby wildebeests and predator action.
• June – December: Ideal for combining the migration with a Zanzibar beach extension, as the island enjoys warm, sunny weather and calm seas.

At Otter African Safaris, we customise your trip to align perfectly with migration patterns and local conditions, ensuring you’re always in the right place at the right time.
