Tanzania: Migration & Beach (Dec-Apr)

From December, the Great Wildebeest Migration starts to settle in the lush southern plains of the Serengeti, where they gather to give birth.  This is calving time and an action packed spectacle of the natural world, and makes for a thrilling safari experience.   Complete your trip with 5 nights relaxing at one of our favourite boutique beach lodges on Zanzibar.   The perfect antidote to winter.
