Our 5-day Great Serengeti Migration itinerary strategically covers the Lobo area, situated north of the central Serengeti National Park, and the remote Wagakuria area in the north, where the majority of the wildebeest migration congregates from mid-July to October. This thoughtfully designed journey ensures you get to witness the wildebeest's remarkable journey.
You'll embark on a thrilling drive into the heart of the Serengeti National Park, venture into the Ngorongoro region, and then return to the vibrant town of Arusha. Along the way, you'll have the incredible opportunity to explore the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of the wonders of our planet.
From mid-July through October, the migration spectacle unfolds as the herds migrate north from the central Serengeti. They split into two groups, with the main contingent heading west to cross the Grumeti River in a breathtaking display of stampedes. Enormous crocodiles await, poised to capture wildebeests as they surge across the river.
The journey continues as the wildebeests traverse the Grumeti region, embarking on another daring river crossing, this time navigating the Mara River. Their ultimate destination is the lush grazing land of Kenya's Masai Mara, making for a spectacle you won't want to miss.
