8-day Great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari
This 8-day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari is crafted to experience the migration during the calving season, which spans from December to April. The tour covers the Lake Ndutu region, as well as the southern and central sections of the Serengeti National Park, where the bulk of the wildebeest herds are typically found. The itinerary also includes a visit to the renowned Ngorongoro Crater.
Throughout the safari, you’ll have the chance to witness massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other herbivores, along with predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas, which follow the migration in search of prey. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Maasai villages and gain insight into their unique culture and traditions.
The safari includes game drives through different regions of the Serengeti, with highlights such as the famous Mara River crossing, where you can witness the dramatic scene of wildebeest crossing the river while avoiding crocodiles.
In the evenings, you’ll rest in comfortable lodges or campsites, enjoying tasty meals as you listen to the sounds of the African wilderness. This 8-day migration safari promises a truly unforgettable experience.
