Great Migration Safari

About this journey

Over two million wildebeest, half a million zebra, and hundreds of thousands of gazelle — the Great Migration is the largest overland movement of mammals on Earth, and this 7-day luxury safari puts you at its heart. The journey begins in Arusha, Tanzania's safari capital, before heading into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a crater descent to see the Big Five in one of the world's most concentrated wildlife arenas. Continue to the Serengeti, where the migration's location shifts with the seasons — your guide knows exactly where the herds are and positions you for maximum impact. From June to October, the Mara River crossings deliver heart-stopping drama as crocodiles lie in wait. From December to March, the southern Serengeti calving grounds witness 8,000 births per day. Luxury tented camps move with the herds, ensuring you're always in the right place. Between the mega-herds, the Serengeti delivers Africa's finest predator action — lion prides, cheetah coalitions, leopards in sausage trees, and hyena clans. This is the safari that defines all others.
