Experience a 10-day Serengeti Migration Safari. Witness the Great Migration, stunning landscapes, and thrilling game drives in Tanzania.

What to See – The Great Wildebeest Migration

The Great Wildebeest Migration is an annual spectacle like no other, where over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey across the vast Serengeti in search of fresh grazing areas. Over the course of this 10-day safari, you’ll have the chance to experience the migration from multiple angles, including river crossings, where the herds must navigate crocodile-infested waters, and the heart-pounding moments when they are stalked by lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards.

During the calving season (January - March), you’ll witness wildebeest calves being born, making it one of the most intense and emotional moments in nature. This period sees predator-prey interactions at their peak, as predators take advantage of the vulnerable newborns. Along with the migration, expect to spot iconic African wildlife like elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, and a variety of birds. The Serengeti’s diverse landscapes, including savannahs, riverine forests, and acacia woodlands, offer stunning backdrops for your safari adventures.

How to Dress on Safari:

Safari clothing should be both comfortable and functional to ensure a pleasant experience throughout your 10-day adventure. Neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, brown, and green is ideal as it helps you blend in with the natural surroundings and minimizes attracting insects. Light, breathable fabrics will keep you cool during the warm days, while fleece or a light jacket is recommended for chilly mornings and evenings when temperatures drop. Comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots are a must for long game drives and potential walking safaris. For sun protection, bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. If traveling during the green season (November - May), don’t forget a light rain jacket to prepare for occasional showers.

What to Carry on Safari: In addition to the usual safari essentials, make sure to pack:

1. Binoculars for a closer look at wildlife from a distance.
2. A camera with extra batteries and memory cards to capture breathtaking moments throughout the safari.
3. A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during your game drives.
4. Insect repellent to prevent bites from mosquitoes and other insects.
5. Personal medications and a basic first aid kit for peace of mind.
6. A small backpack to carry daily essentials like snacks, sunscreen, and your camera.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

While Tanzania is a year-round destination for safaris, the best time to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration and its dramatic river crossings is during the Dry Season (June - October), when the wildlife congregates around limited water sources. This is the peak safari season, ensuring clear skies, excellent visibility, and fewer mosquitoes.

However, for those seeking to experience a quieter, more intimate safari with lush landscapes and fewer tourists, the Green Season (November - May) is a great choice. During this time, the Serengeti comes alive with new life as wildebeest calves are born, providing thrilling opportunities for predator interactions. If you're interested in birdwatching, the Green Season is ideal, as migratory birds arrive in droves.

With its diverse ecosystems, the 10-Day Serengeti Migration Safari Adventure will take you through various landscapes and wildlife hotspots, ensuring you experience the very best of Tanzania’s wilderness. From river crossings and dramatic predator-prey encounters to quiet moments in nature, this adventure will leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
