Safari summary
This 7-day group joining safari in 2026-2027 is specially designed for travelers who want to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration without the high cost of a private tour. You’ll join a small group (max 6–7 people per vehicle) and explore Tanzania’s top wildlife destinations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The highlight of this trip is witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, where over 1.5 million wildebeest and thousands of zebras move in search of fresh grazing, followed closely by predators. You’ll also enjoy game drives in Tarangire, known for elephants and baobab trees, and in the Ngorongoro Crater, home to all Big Five animals. Accommodation is in a mix of budget lodges and tented camps, with full-board meals included. This tour is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or friends looking for a social, budget-friendly safari adventure.
