The phenomenon of the Great Migration
The Great Migration in Tanzania is an epochal natural spectacle: over two million animals migrate according to the seasons. The period between July and September is the climax, when the herds cross the Serengeti-Mara rivers, facing currents and predators.
The crossings of the Mara River
Imagine entire herds of wildebeests and zebras leaping into the tumultuous waters, overcoming natural obstacles while crocodiles wait beneath the surface. It is an emotional experience, immersed in adrenaline and the wildest survival.
Accommodations during the safari
Nights are spent in selected lodges or tented camps, chosen based on comfort, strategic location for game drives and authenticity of the experience. The accommodations are an integral part of the emotion: waking up with the view of the savannah or the baobabs gives unique emotions.
What’s included in the price
The package includes transportation by 4×4, qualified English guide, all meals, water, permits and fees for the parks, entrance fees, accommodations and photo shoot. No surprise: everything you need to experience the Great Migration in Tanzania in total serenity.
Optional Extras
Maasai Wedding
Attend or witness a traditional Masai wedding ceremony: an immersion in the local culture.
Hot air balloon safari
Fly over the savannah at sunrise: another perspective to observe wildlife and migration from above.
Extension of the sea in Zanzibar
After your safari adventure, relax with a beach extension in Zanzibar that combines relaxation and the beauty of the Indian Ocean.
When to go to see the Great Migration
The ideal time is between July and September, when the herds move north and cross the Mara River. May-June also offers good odds, while March-May is useful if you want to avoid crowds and don’t mind denser vegetation.
What to bring on safari
Wear practical and breathable clothing, good clothing recommended for trekking and a light jacket for cool evenings. Don’t forget your hat, glasses, sunscreen, binoculars, and camera to capture every moment.
