Questions travellers ask
How much does a migration trip in Tanzania cost?
Our great migration safaris start from $1,340 per person sharing. The final price depends on dates, group size and the camps you choose. Every quote is all-inclusive of park fees, transfers and meals listed in the itinerary.
Can I change one of these migration itineraries?
Yes. These are sample routes. We can add or remove days, change camps, upgrade a night or two, or combine trips. Tell us what you would like and we will send a revised plan.
When is the best time to go?
June to October is the dry season and best for most parks. January to March is excellent in the Serengeti (calving season) and on Zanzibar. April and May are the long rains — quieter and cheaper, with some camps closed.
