5-Day Wildebeest Migration Safari: With Tanzania Safari Source Tours
The 5 Days Wildebeest Migration Safari offers the ultimate Tanzania wildlife experience, combining the dramatic Mara River crossings in Northern Serengeti with the vast plains of Central Serengeti and the unparalleled biodiversity of Ngorongoro Crater. This carefully curated itinerary provides comprehensive coverage of the Great Migration's most spectacular phases while showcasing Tanzania's diverse ecosystems. From July through October, the Northern Serengeti becomes nature's grandest stage as over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters, while Central Serengeti offers year-round predator action and Ngorongoro Crater delivers the highest density of wildlife in Africa.
Our 5 Days Wildebeest Migration Safari is designed for travelers seeking both the migration spectacle and Tanzania's classic safari highlights. Unlike shorter tours, this extended itinerary allows time to witness multiple river crossing attempts while also exploring the Serengeti's central plains and Ngorongoro's unique crater ecosystem. The wildebeest migration represents Earth's largest terrestrial mammal movement, and our expert guides with 10+ years experience know precisely where to position your vehicle for optimal viewing. The Northern Serengeti's Mara River provides the most dramatic crossings, Central Serengeti offers exceptional big cat sightings, and Ngorongoro Crater guarantees encounters with all Big Five in a single day.
