Tour Overview

Experience the world's greatest natural spectacle - the Great Migration of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti ecosystem. This 9-day luxury safari is specifically designed to position you at the heart of the action, with fly-in camps that follow the herds throughout the year.

The Great Migration is a continuous journey, but certain periods offer extraordinary highlights. From December to March, witness the calving season in the Ndutu region, where approximately 8,000 calves are born daily. From June to August, the herds move through the Western Corridor and Grumeti River area, facing crocodile-infested crossings. July to October brings the dramatic Mara River crossings in the Northern Serengeti.

Your safari begins with a game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before flying deep into the Serengeti. We move with the migration, staying at exclusive mobile camps and luxury lodges positioned in the path of the herds. Expert guides with years of migration tracking experience lead each game drive, maximizing your chances of witnessing river crossings and predator-prey interactions.

This is safari at its finest - intimate camps, gourmet bush cuisine, and front-row seats to nature's most dramatic show.
