11-Day Great Migration Safari & Zanzibar

Destination: Arusha Meet the Tamri International team on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfer to your hotel. This first day is deliberately light so you can recover from the international journey, review the route with the safari team and confirm luggage, dietary and flight details. If arrival is early, a gentle optional Arusha activity can be arranged, but the itinerary does not force a long park transfer on the same day.

Night accommodation: Rivertrees Country Inn or Forest Hill Hotel

Destination: Serengeti Transfer to the airport for a scheduled light-aircraft flight into the Serengeti. On landing, meet the safari guide and begin wildlife viewing directly from the airstrip, turning the transfer to camp into the first game drive. Flying removes a long road sector and is especially useful for short itineraries. Exact departure times, baggage limits and airstrip routing remain subject to the operating airline.

Night accommodation: Seasonal migration camp

Destination: Serengeti Follow a seasonally positioned Serengeti safari plan. The preferred sector may be Ndutu and the southern plains in the calving period, central or western areas during transitional months, or northern Serengeti during the dry-season migration period. The route is chosen for your dates rather than marketed as one fixed wildlife location. The full day is kept flexible so the guide can respond to current herd information and road conditions.

Night accommodation: Seasonal migration camp

Destination: Serengeti Spend a complete day exploring the central Serengeti, using early morning and late afternoon conditions for strong wildlife opportunities. The guide follows current animal movement rather than a rigid circuit, with time around kopjes, river valleys and open plains. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and large plains-game herds are possible, but no specific sighting is guaranteed. Lunch can be taken in the field or at camp according to the day plan.

Night accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge or Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

Destination: Serengeti / Ngorongoro Begin with wildlife viewing in the Serengeti before travelling toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey changes gradually from open plains to cooler highlands and should be treated as a transfer-and-game-drive day rather than a short road hop. Depending on timing, optional cultural or archaeological stops can be quoted separately. Arrive near the crater rim or Karatu with enough time to rest before the crater safari.

Night accommodation: Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge or The Retreat at Ngorongoro

Destination: Ngorongoro / Arusha Descend to the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a focused safari among grassland, wetlands and forest patches inside the caldera. The crater supports a dense concentration of wildlife and offers strong opportunities for buffalo, lion, zebra, wildebeest, hippo and, with luck, black rhino. After a picnic lunch and final game drive, climb back to the highlands and continue to Arusha. Driving time varies with traffic, road conditions and the length of the crater visit.

Night accommodation: Rivertrees Country Inn or Forest Hill Hotel

Destination: Arusha / Zanzibar Transfer to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport for the scheduled flight to Zanzibar. The exact airport and departure time depend on the airline and travel date. After landing, meet the coastal driver and continue to the beach property. No major island excursion is forced onto the arrival day, leaving time to settle in after the safari.

Night accommodation: Breezes Beach Club & Spa or Zanzibar Bay Resort

Destination: Zanzibar Enjoy an unhurried day on Zanzibar with time for the beach, pool and hotel facilities. Optional activities such as a reef excursion, spice experience, Stone Town walk, sunset cruise or cultural visit can be added according to interests, tides and weather. Keeping genuine free time after safari is part of the design; the island section should feel restorative rather than like another tightly scheduled tour.
