Great Migration Safaris
9 DAYS | 8 NIGHTS SAFARI
Destinations
Arusha, Lake Manyara , Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Via Kilimanjaro
Safari Overview
Each year, almost two million wildebeest and 20,000 plains game migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti to the south of Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of lush grazing grounds and life-giving water. This treacherous journey is dictated by the seasons and where the rains are, the wildebeest are not far behind. This epic journey from north to south spans almost 3000 kilometers and is virtually endless.
This great spectacle of nature is an iconic safari option for avid travelers, nature lovers and those who want a little more from their African experience. Rather than having a start or end point, the Great Migration moves metrically in a clockwise direction, making herd tracking unpredictable.
