Safari summary

Experience Tanzania's northern safari circuit in comfort with a private six-day journey designed around the Great Wildebeest Migration. Begin with the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire before travelling through Central Serengeti to the northern plains near the Mara River. During the migration season, you will have the opportunity to witness wildebeest and zebras gathering near the river and, when conditions are right, crossing its waters. Continue south through the Serengeti before exploring the Ngorongoro Crater and returning to Arusha. The Mara River crossing is a natural event, so sightings and timing depend on wildlife movement and conditions.
