An 8 Day Serengeti & Maasai Mara Migration Safari offers the best East African adventure across Kenya and Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes.
Your adventure begins in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. Here, lions stalk quietly through tall grass, cheetahs sprint across open plains and elephants wander in family groups. Between July and October, the Mara becomes the stage for one of nature’s greatest events, the Great Migration. Watching lots of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains and rivers.
Afterwards, you cross the border into Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, where the migration continues. Depending on the time of year, herds gather on the southern plains to calve or move northward in search of fresh grazing.
Finally, the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most remarkable wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem supports an incredible variety of animals, including rhinos, lions and flamingos shimmering along the lake’s edge. The descent into the crater feels like stepping into another world.
What makes this 8 Day Serengeti & Maasai Mara Migration Safari truly special is its balance. Thrilling game drives and moments of quiet beauty. With professional guides and well-chosen camps, each day offers comfort and adventure.
If you would like assistance tailoring the perfect safari experience, our team is ready to help.
