Built to give you the best chance of seeing the Great Migration: Tarangire, the Central and Northern Serengeti with mid-range camps, then a flight to Zanzibar's beaches.
If seeing the Great Migration is the dream, this is the trip we plan around it: two nights deep in the Northern Serengeti, close to the herds, then a flight to Zanzibar to slow down on the beach.
