5 day flyin from Zanzibar to Serengeti
5 Day Fly-in Safari from Zanzibar (Serengeti & Ngorongoro) gives you the freedom to focus on wildlife instead of roads. You fly directly to the closest airstrips and meet your private guide for uninterrupted game viewing. You set the pace each day, whether you want sunrise starts or a relaxed breakfast and a shorter drive.
Best Time To Visit
Ngorongoro Crater is good all year since wildlife is resident. Pack warm layers for chilly mornings on the rim from June to August. Serengeti is year round. Migration is usually in the south from December to March, moves central and west from April to June, concentrates in the north from July to October, then returns south in November.
