Join us on this unforgettable 6 Day Tanzania Great Migration Safari for the ultimate African wildlife experience. This safari is designed to combine the Great Migration of the wildebeest and the most iconic national parks of Tanzania. This incredible journey begins in the spectacular Northern Serengeti with the legendary Mara River crossings, continuing on through the wildlife-rich plains of Central Serengeti, the magnificent Ngorongoro Conservation Area and finally to the elephant paradise of Tarangire National Park. This safari is perfect for wildlife lovers, photographers, honeymooners, families and first time visitors and offers fantastic game viewing and unforgettable memories in the heart of Africa.

Between July and October, the Great Migration arrives in the Northern Serengeti as more than two million wildebeest, as well as hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, head north in search of fresh grazing. One of nature’s most spectacular events unfolds along the Mara River, where vast herds gather before their courageous crossings. These crossings are teeming with excitement as wildebeest throw themselves into crocodile-infested waters while predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas wait patiently in the wings. Each crossing is different and so every safari is a truly unique experience.

Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Arusha to Kogatende Airstrip or a comfortable drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands and Central Serengeti to the Northern Serengeti. Flying maximises your time in the migration area, whilst driving gives you spectacular landscapes and constant wildlife viewing en route. On arrival you will start exploring one of the best safari destinations in Africa straight away, with rolling hills, riverine forests and open savannahs providing the perfect habitat for abundant wildlife.

Explore the Northern Serengeti for a full day with your experienced guide tracking the migration herds seeking out active river crossings and incredible wildlife encounters. The area also hosts elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, elands, topis, impalas, hippos, crocodiles and a remarkable concentration of predators, in addition to the migration. Whether it’s wildebeest in their thousands crossing the Mara River or a pride of lions on the hunt, game drives are filled with unforgettable moments.

The safari continues to the world famous Central Serengeti with its endless golden plains, granite kopjes and amazing wildlife all year round. The Seronera Valley has permanent rivers and one of the highest predator populations in Africa. This means unparalleled opportunities to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas and a multitude of antelope species. Resident wildlife and migrating herds combine to provide excellent game viewing throughout the year.

Leaving Serengeti, you will travel through the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area with spectacular views of volcanic landscapes and lush highlands before an overnight stay in Karatu. Next day we drive to Tarangire National Park famous for its majestic Baobab trees and one of the largest concentrations of elephants in East Africa. The Tarangire River has amazing concentrations of wildlife including elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeest, lions, leopards, and over 550 species of birds, and is the perfect way to end your safari adventure.

On your journey you will travel in a custom built 4×4 safari vehicle with pop-up roof, comfortable seating, charging facilities and large viewing windows. You will be joined by a professional English speaking safari guide who will give you fascinating insights into wildlife behaviour, migration patterns, ecosystems and conservation efforts that make Tanzania one of the world’s leading safari destinations.
