Follow the Great Wildebeest Migration on a 6-day Serengeti safari with seasonal migration tracking, predator viewing, possible river crossings and Ngorongoro Crater.
Experience Tanzania’s wildlife spectacle on a 6-day Serengeti Migration Safari designed around the seasonal movement of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles across the Serengeti ecosystem.
Unlike a fixed-route Serengeti safari, this itinerary can be adapted according to the season, recent herd movement, wildlife activity and the region offering the most relevant migration experience at the time of travel.
Depending on your travel dates, the safari may focus on the southern, central, western or northern Serengeti, with northern routes offering the possibility of witnessing Mara River crossings during the appropriate season.
The itinerary also includes a concluding Ngorongoro Crater safari, giving you the opportunity to combine migration viewing with one of Tanzania’s most distinctive wildlife environments.

From approximately January to March, the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area can become an important part of the migration cycle.
During the calving period, large numbers of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
This period can be particularly interesting for travelers interested in calving and predator activity.
The central Serengeti provides year-round opportunities for wildlife viewing and can serve as an important base when planning a migration safari.
The area supports resident wildlife as well as seasonal movements of migrating herbivores.
Game drives may produce sightings of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and other species.
The western Serengeti includes the Grumeti ecosystem, an area associated with seasonal migration movements.
Depending on the timing of your visit, you may encounter migrating herds, predators and other wildlife around the western corridor.
The Grumeti River is also associated with seasonal river-crossing activity, although crossings are unpredictable.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is constantly moving, which is why a migration safari should be planned around the season rather than a rigid route.
Spend extended time exploring the Serengeti, follow seasonal herd movements, look for predator activity and, during the northern migration period, position yourself in areas where river crossings may occur.
Your safari then concludes with a Ngorongoro Crater wildlife experience before returning to Arusha.
