3 Day Serengeti Safari from Zanzibar - Overview

Serengeti Safari from Zanzibar

As a well-experienced tour operator, we are thrilled to guide you through the enchanting landscapes and extraordinary wildlife experiences that await you on a 3 Day Serengeti Safari from Zanzibar.

Below, we provide an in-depth overview of the key destinations and highlights, ensuring you have all the essential information to make the most of your safari adventure.

Location and How to Get There from Zanzibar

The Serengeti National Park is located in northern Tanzania and is one of Africa’s most renowned safari destinations.

To reach the Serengeti from Zanzibar, you will take a flight from Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) to one of the Serengeti’s airstrips, such as Seronera, Grumeti, or Kogatende, depending on the season and your itinerary.

The flight duration is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, offering stunning aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes.

Significance of the Safari

The Serengeti is synonymous with the quintessential African safari experience.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its abundant wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Here are some key highlights:

Great Migration

Witnessing the Great Migration is a bucket-list experience.

Over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate across the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh grazing.

This spectacle is one of the most incredible wildlife events on the planet.

Big Five

The Serengeti is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino).

Spotting these iconic animals in their natural habitat is a thrilling and unforgettable experience.

Diverse Ecosystems

From the vast open plains of the Central Serengeti to the riverine forests and woodlands, each area of the park offers unique wildlife sightings and scenic beauty.

Climate and Best Time to Visit

The Serengeti has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Understanding the climate and the best times to visit can enhance your safari experience:

Dry Season (June to October):

This is the best time for game viewing as animals congregate around water sources.

The vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot. The weather is generally warm and dry, ideal for comfortable safari activities.

Wet Season (November to May)

This period is divided into the short rains (November to December) and the long rains (March to May).

While the wet season brings lush landscapes and abundant birdlife, it can also make some roads difficult to navigate.

However, the wet season offers fewer tourists and the opportunity to witness the calving season from January to February, when many animals give birth.

Key Highlights

Central Serengeti (Seronera Valley)

  • Wildlife Concentration: Known for its high concentration of predators, especially lions and leopards.
  • Accessibility: Easily accessible year-round and offers reliable wildlife sightings.

Western Corridor and Grumeti River

  • Migration Crossings: Famous for the dramatic Grumeti River crossings during the Great Migration (June to July).
  • Scenic Beauty: The landscape is characterized by rolling hills and riverine forests.

Northern Serengeti (Mara River):

  • Iconic Crossings: Witness the thrilling Mara River crossings from July to October as the herds move into Kenya’s Maasai Mara.
  • Remote and Pristine: This area offers a more secluded safari experience with fewer tourists.

Southern Serengeti and Ndutu Region

  • Calving Season: From December to March, the southern plains are the birthplace of the Great Migration’s new generation, attracting numerous predators.
  • Scenic Plains: The open plains offer spectacular vistas and abundant wildlife.
