Wildebeest Migration Safaris from Zanzibar

Fly from Zanzibar to Serengeti for Great Migration Safaris

Experience the great wildebeest migration in Serengeti Tanzania from Zanzibar Island. You can start your safari from Zanzibar to Serengeti for both the great migration and the wildebeest calving season. Explore the south of Serengeti and Ndutu Conservation Area where more than 8000 wildebeests are born daily from January to March.

From July to October, these wildebeests dare to cross the infested Mara Rivers both North of Serengeti and in Masai Mara Kenya. The wildebeest Crossings are major and tend to be dramatic every moment they cross. Jumping from high river cliffs down to crossing the rivers and finding crocodiles waiting for them here, is purely dramatic and thrilling at the same time. 

In the mid-year season, that is from April to June, wildebeest migration moves to Central Serengeti, and this could be a great place to also have a good time to explore the wildebeests. During these months, we have amazing offers for our Safaris from Zanzibar.

What is the Best Time to Visit Tanzania and Kenya for Safaris

The best time to visit Tanzania and Kenya depends on what wildlife you’d like to spot. The country’s seasons and wildlife numbers are dictated by the rain, so you’ll have a slightly different experience depending on when you choose to visit.

The best time to visit Kenya for a safari is June-August. It’s comfortably cool, plus two million animals make the precarious Mara River crossing in June and July. Outside these months, you can track the migration elsewhere in the Serengeti.

Kenya’s ‘green season’, between November and March, is much quieter. While there’s a chance of rain showers, it’s a fantastic time for birdwatching as migratory species arrive in their thousands. You’ll also see Great Migration herds with their newly born calves.

January, February, and July to October are the best time to travel to Kenya as it is the dry season – hot and cool respectively. November, December, and April to June are the short and long rainy months respectively. However, with a diverse geography and a moderate climate, Kenya is considered a great year-round safari and beach holiday destination.
