5 Days Serengeti Great Migration Safari

Tour Overview

The Serengeti Great Migration is recognized as one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders. It delivers breathtaking scenes of endless plains alive with massive herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, while dramatic river crossings are guarded by powerful Nile crocodiles waiting beneath the surface. This remarkable ecosystem offers some of the finest safari experiences on Earth, set within a diverse landscape of volcanic grasslands, sweeping savannahs, rocky kopjes, winding rivers, and pockets of forest. When travelers visit the right regions at the right time of year, they are rewarded with unforgettable encounters with this extraordinary natural event. The constant movement of these herds also draws Africa’s most iconic predators. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles closely follow the Migration, ensuring thrilling wildlife encounters at every stage of the journey.
