Join a 6-day Serengeti Migration Safari. Witness the Great Migration, explore stunning landscapes, and enjoy thrilling wildlife encounters in Tanzania.

What to See:

Throughout your 6-day safari, you'll be treated to some of the most spectacular wildlife encounters on Earth. The Great Wildebeest Migration takes center stage, with herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing grounds. You’ll have the chance to witness dramatic river crossings, where the wildebeest brave the crocodile-infested waters, and other predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas lurk in the shadows, waiting for their next meal.

The Serengeti is not just home to the migration; it is also a rich ecosystem with a diverse array of animals, including the Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a unique enclosed ecosystem with abundant wildlife, including black rhinos and flamingos. As you explore the parks, you’ll also come across a variety of bird species, from vultures to eagles and flamingos.

How to Dress on Safari:

Dressing appropriately for your safari is essential for comfort and safety. Opt for neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, olive, or brown to blend in with the environment and avoid attracting insects. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal for the hot afternoons, while a fleece or jacket will keep you warm in the cool mornings and evenings. Wear comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots for game drives and possible nature walks. Protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen. If you’re traveling during the green season (November to May), pack a light rain jacket for potential showers.

To make the most of your safari experience, here’s a list of essentials to bring along:

1. Clothing: Light, neutral-colored outfits for blending into the environment
2. Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes for game drives and short walks
3. Sun Protection: Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat

5. Layering: A light jacket for early mornings and evenings
6. Essentials: Personal medications and a basic first aid kit

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

Tanzania offers incredible wildlife viewing year-round, but the Great Wildebeest Migration and the best safari experiences depend on the time of year you visit.

Dry Season (June - October) – Peak Migration and River Crossings

The dry season, from June to October, is the ideal time to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in full swing, with the herds typically arriving in the northern Serengeti by July. This is when the dramatic river crossings take place, as the wildebeest and zebras must cross crocodile-infested rivers. The dry season also offers excellent wildlife viewing, as animals gather around water sources, making it easier to spot them.

Green Season (November - May) – Calving Season and Lush Landscapes

The green season (November to May) is a great time for birdwatching and seeing the calving season in full bloom, particularly from January to March when the wildebeest give birth in the southern Serengeti. This period attracts predators and offers unique opportunities for action-packed wildlife photography. The green season brings lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and lower safari prices, providing a quieter, more intimate safari experience.

The 6-Day Serengeti Great Wildebeest Migration Safari Adventure offers an immersive experience into one of the world’s most incredible wildlife events. From witnessing the Great Migration’s dramatic river crossings to exploring the rich ecosystems of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, this safari will leave you with unforgettable memories of Africa’s raw beauty and wildlife. Whether you choose to travel during the dry or green season, your journey will be filled with awe and adventure.
