Overview
Experience the breathtaking spectacle of the Great Migration with this special, highly discounted safari that offers you a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic events. Every year, millions
of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores embark on a perilous journey from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, in search of fresh pasture and water. As they move, they must brave treacherous river crossings, where hungry crocodiles lie in wait, and navigate through the vast savannahs patrolled by predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
This incredible migration occurs between July and October, with August being the prime time to witness the massive river crossings and the heart-stopping encounters between prey and predator. Alongside the Great Migration, this safari also offers thrilling game drives, encounters with the Big Five, and opportunities to immerse yourself in Maasai culture. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or first-time safari-goer, this journey promises an unforgettable
adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled wildlife sightings.
