9 Days Tanzania Serengeti Migration Safari

Embark on a captivating 9 Days Tanzania Serengeti Migration Safari through Tanzania, centered around the awe-inspiring Great Migration in the Serengeti. This adventure places you at the heart of one of nature’s most extraordinary events, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the Serengeti plains in a relentless pursuit of fresh grazing grounds. Witness the dramatic river crossings, where herds face the perilous challenge of crocodile-infested waters, and marvel at the vast herds sweeping across the open savannah.

Your journey begins in the Serengeti, renowned for its diverse wildlife and expansive landscapes. Experience thrilling game drives that bring you up close to the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—as well as cheetahs, hyenas, and an array of bird species.
