8 DAYS SAFARI TOUR



TOUR OVERVIEW

You will be awed with the enormous herds of wildebeest, zebra and antelope. Serengeti’s annual wildebeest migration is one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles in the world. It is no wonder that Serengeti is one of the most majestic and popular national parks world-wide. Even when the migration has moved on to the Maasai Mara, the Park still offers some of the most scintillating safari experiences in Africa. Our migration safari will provide you with the best opportunity to be part of one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Africa.
We recommend at least four days for this once in a lifetime migration viewing. Our itineraries include visits to other national parks, which provides for a more enriching experience. The best time to experience the migration safari is from November to August with April & May being the optimal time.

Your game drive will take you through this 3,000 square mile park, which is known for its large number of elephants and iconic baobab trees. Tarangire is the home of over 2,000 elephants and 500 bird species.
