Safari summary
Witness one of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles on this 9-day Great Migration Safari through Tanzania's most iconic national parks.

The adventure begins in Lake Manyara National Park before continuing to Central Serengeti, where resident wildlife can be seen year-round. The highlight of the safari is Northern Serengeti (Kogatende), where, during the migration season, thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather to cross the Mara River while predators wait nearby, creating one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife events.
Complete your journey with a visit to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. This package includes comfortable mid-range accommodation, professional safari guides, private 4×4 transportation, park fees, and full-board meals, making it the perfect choice for travelers seeking an unforgettable Tanzania safari.
Best Time for the Great Migration
This itinerary is ideal from July to October, when the Great Wildebeest Migration reaches Northern Serengeti (Kogatende) and large herds cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing. River crossings are never guaranteed, as wildlife moves naturally, but this period offers the best chance to witness this extraordinary event.
