serengeti wildtours

Overview

The 7 Days Great Migration Safari Tanzania is created for travelers who want to experience the famous wildebeest migration during the Northern Serengeti river-crossing season. With Serengeti Wild Tours, this safari combines Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, the Mara River area, and Ngorongoro Crater in one strong wildlife itinerary. It is best from July to October, when large herds of wildebeest and zebras often move through Northern Serengeti and gather near the Mara River. River crossings are natural events and cannot be guaranteed, but this itinerary gives you valuable time in the right region during the best season. Along the way, you also enjoy classic big cat country, elephant habitats, open savannah landscapes, and the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater.

FAQs
