7 Days Kenya Great Migration Safari & Zanzibar Overview

This 7-day Kenya Great Migration safari and Zanzibar beach holiday combines wildlife viewing in the Masai Mara with four relaxing nights on the tropical shores of Zanzibar. Starting in Nairobi, the journey takes you into the Masai Mara for two nights of private safari experiences before continuing by scheduled flight to Zanzibar for the beach portion of your holiday.
Your Masai Mara safari is operated in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with a professional safari guide. Game drives focus on the reserve's diverse wildlife, including opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, hippos and many other species. During the main Great Migration season, approximately July to October, large herds of wildebeest and zebra may be present in the Masai Mara as they move through the wider Serengeti–Mara ecosystem.
After your Masai Mara safari, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight connection to Zanzibar. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to your selected beach resort for four nights. The Zanzibar portion is designed primarily for relaxation, giving you time to enjoy the Indian Ocean, white-sand beaches and your resort facilities. Optional activities such as a Stone Town tour, spice farm visit, snorkelling or a traditional dhow cruise can be arranged separately.
The safari is available with Budget, Mid-Range and Luxury accommodation options, allowing you to choose the level that best matches your travel style and budget. Prices start from USD 2,290 per person sharing, with the final cost depending on travel dates, number of travellers, accommodation category and confirmed flight fares.
This itinerary works particularly well for travellers who want to combine a short private Kenya wildlife safari with a Zanzibar beach holiday without spending additional days travelling long distances by road.
Migration note: Great Migration movements are determined by rainfall, grazing and other natural conditions. Herd locations, river crossings and specific wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Why This 7-Day Masai Mara & Zanzibar Itinerary Works
Safari and beach in one journey
This itinerary combines two contrasting East African experiences in just seven days: wildlife viewing in the Masai Mara followed by four nights on the beaches of Zanzibar. It works particularly well for travellers who want an active safari followed by time to relax beside the Indian Ocean.
Two nights focused on the Masai Mara
Rather than adding several parks and spending much of a short itinerary on the road, the safari concentrates on the Masai Mara. This gives you an afternoon game drive on arrival, a full day of wildlife viewing and, depending on your confirmed flight schedule, the possibility of additional game viewing on the final morning.
Private 4×4 safari experience
Your Kenya safari is operated in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with a professional safari guide. A private vehicle provides greater flexibility during game drives, allowing your guide to adapt the day's wildlife viewing to conditions, recent sightings and your interests within park regulations and operating hours.
Well suited to the Great Migration season
Travel approximately July to October and the Masai Mara may offer opportunities to encounter large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra during the Great Migration. Herd locations and river crossings vary according to rainfall and other natural conditions, so specific migration events cannot be guaranteed.
Fly from safari to the beach
After the Masai Mara, an included scheduled flight connection to Zanzibar reduces the need for additional long-distance road travel. Once in Zanzibar, four nights provide time to relax at your beach resort, with optional excursions available for travellers who want to explore more of the island.

Great Migration & Best Time for This Safari
The Masai Mara offers rewarding wildlife viewing throughout the year, but travellers specifically interested in the Great Migration generally target the period from approximately July to October.
July to October – Great Migration Season
Large herds of wildebeest and zebra may move into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti during this period, depending on rainfall, grazing conditions and natural herd movements.
Your private safari guide will use local conditions and recent wildlife information to help locate productive game-viewing areas. During the migration season, there may also be opportunities to observe activity around the Mara River.
However, the migration follows a natural cycle rather than a fixed timetable. River crossings, herd locations and individual wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
January to March – Warm & Generally Drier
This can be a good period for general wildlife viewing in the Masai Mara, with warm conditions and typically less rainfall than during the main long-rains period. It is not normally the main Masai Mara Great Migration season, but resident wildlife remains present.
April to May – Green Season
The long-rains period brings greener landscapes and can mean fewer visitors. Some roads and wildlife-viewing conditions may be affected by rainfall, but the reserve remains a year-round wildlife destination.
November to December – Short Rains & Green Landscapes
The short rains can refresh the plains and create attractive scenery. Wildlife viewing continues, although the major migratory herds are generally no longer concentrated in the Masai Mara.
What About Zanzibar?
Zanzibar can be visited throughout much of the year, making it a natural addition to a Kenya safari. Travellers combining the Great Migration and Zanzibar often choose July to October because it combines the main Masai Mara migration period with generally favourable beach-holiday conditions.
When Should You Book?
For travel during July to October, we recommend booking well in advance because popular Masai Mara camps, lodges and scheduled flights can fill quickly.
If seeing the Great Migration is not your main priority, this Masai Mara and Zanzibar safari can also be enjoyed at other times of the year for resident wildlife viewing followed by a relaxing Indian Ocean beach stay.
Who Is This 7-Day Kenya Great Migration & Zanzibar Safari Best Suited For?

Travel Expert Recommendation
If you're looking for a holiday that combines world-class wildlife viewing with time to relax by the Indian Ocean, this itinerary is one of the best choices in East Africa. Spending several days in the Masai Mara during the Great Migration before flying to Zanzibar creates a well-balanced journey that showcases two of Africa's most iconic destinations without feeling rushed.
Wildlife You May See in the Masai Mara
The Masai Mara National Reserve supports diverse wildlife throughout the year, making this safari rewarding both during and outside the Great Migration season.
During your private game drives, possible sightings include:
Lions – frequently associated with the Mara's open plains and abundant prey
Elephants – often seen in family groups across the reserve
Buffaloes – found in herds throughout suitable habitats
Cheetahs – particularly associated with open grassland
Leopards – present but more elusive and unpredictable
Giraffes, zebras and numerous antelope species
Hippos and crocodiles – particularly around rivers and permanent water
Hyenas, jackals and other predators and scavengers
A wide variety of resident and migratory birdlife
Great Migration Wildlife
From approximately July to October, large numbers of wildebeest and zebra may enter the Masai Mara as part of the wider Serengeti–Mara migration cycle.
Their presence can also create excellent predator-viewing opportunities as lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other carnivores follow or concentrate around areas with abundant prey.
Can You See the Big Five?
The wider Masai Mara ecosystem is associated with the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and black rhino. However, wildlife moves freely and sightings depend on natural conditions, time available and luck.
For this reason, Big Five sightings and specific species cannot be guaranteed on any safari.
