Overview

The Great Migration is not an event in one place. The herds move with the rains: the southern plains from December to March, the central and western areas in the early months, and the north, with the Mara River, from July to October.

This safari gives you six nights in the Serengeti with a flight each way, and we choose the part of the park that suits the month you travel. We cannot promise a river crossing, but we give you the best chances, with long game drives and a guide who follows the herds.

Highlights

  • Six nights in the Serengeti
  • Game drives planned around the herds
  • Lion, leopard, cheetah and elephant
  • Lemala Ewanjan and Four Seasons Safari Lodge
  • Flights from and to Arusha

  • The order and content of the safari can be adjusted to suit you, and a change may affect the price.
  • If a lodge is fully booked, we will offer a comparable one.
