Vacation Highlights

Zanzibar: private sightseeing vehicle in Stone Town; Between destinations and for all game drives: private 4-wheel-drive vehicle carries up to six guests, features a pop-up roof for easy game viewing/photography, and comes stocked with fresh, filtered water; private transfers to/from airport for all intra-vacation flights; intra-vacation flights and taxes.

Driver/Guide throughout your private safari; Local Host in Zanzibar.

The Great Migration is a natural event, and the movements of the migrating herds are difficult to predict year to year., The herds are in the Serengeti between late November and July.. River crossings are more of a challenge, and we’ll adjust game viewing if there is an opportunity to witness this rare and extraordinary sight!

All game viewing is done at your own risk. We require a signed liability waiver prior to travel.

We do not recommend this vacation to people with serious back problems, as it can be quite rough driving on/off road in/between game parks.

Filtered water: Included on all game activities.
