Tanzania In October

Safari summary

October is a spectacular time to visit Tanzania, especially the Serengeti, where nature puts on one of its most unforgettable performances the Great Migration. With Tanzania Safari Source Tours, travelers can now experience this world renowned spectacle on a condensed yet thrilling 3 day safari, specially designed for those who crave authentic wildlife encounters within a limited timeframe. Best of all, bookings made for October departures come with a special 10% discount.

This journey takes you straight to the heart of the Serengeti, where the Migration is active during this transitional month. Large herds of wildebeest and zebras are often seen making their way toward the southern plains, following the rains and fresher grazing lands. The plains are buzzing with life, and the predators lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards are never far behind. The combination of dramatic landscapes, golden grasslands, and raw, untamed wildlife encounters makes this safari unforgettable.

Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you'll meet your professional guide from Tanzania Safari Source Tours. After a briefing, you’ll depart on a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands, with optional stops along the way for photos and cultural insights. As you enter Serengeti National Park, the landscape opens up and game viewing begins almost immediately. You’ll arrive in the central or northern Serengeti region in time for an afternoon game drive, where the first sightings of migrating herds often take your breath away. That evening, you’ll settle into a well appointed tented camp or lodge and enjoy dinner under the stars.

The second day is devoted to a full day safari experience. You’ll rise early to catch the sunrise and possibly see predators on the move before the day heats up. With your guide’s expert knowledge, you'll explore areas where the Migration is most active. October is an especially rewarding month because the herds are on the move, and their unpredictable patterns mean every safari is unique. You may come across river crossings, newborn calves, or dramatic predator hunts. A picnic lunch in the bush allows you to stay out all day and maximize your time in the wild. By sunset, you’ll return to camp, filled with unforgettable sightings and the magic of the Serengeti.

On your final day, after breakfast and an optional early morning drive, you’ll begin your journey back to Arusha. Depending on your schedule, you can either return by road or take a short flight out of the Serengeti, both offering their own scenic views and opportunities to reflect on the adventure.

This 3 day safari is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking to witness the Migration without committing to a long itinerary. It offers exceptional value, especially with the limited time 10% October discount, and is operated with the reliability and personalized service that Tanzania Safari Source Tours is known for. If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing the Great Migration in action now is the time.
