The 10-day Serengeti wildebeest migration safari is an exploration of one of the most renowned wildlife conservancies in Africa, known for its incredible wildlife spectacle. Tanzania is home to the second largest terrestrial mammal migration, known as the Great Wildebeest Migration. This incredible phenomenon is considered one of the 7 natural wonders in Africa and one of the 10 natural wonders in the world. The wildebeest migration reaches its peak during the river crossing, as herbivores attempt to navigate the treacherous waters infested with crocodiles, patiently waiting to seize their unsuspecting prey. In August, the wildebeest migration river crossing takes place as it moves northward. It passes through the Lobo area, located north of Central Serengeti National Park, and the Wagakuria area, which is in the remote northern part of Serengeti National Park along the Mara River. The ultimate destination is Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve.
This 10-day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration safari is a professionally guided wildlife journey designed to follow the movement of over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across northern Tanzania. The safari focuses on positioning guests in the best migration routes of the Serengeti, depending on the season, while combining exceptional wildlife viewing with luxury accommodation and expert guiding.
The itinerary typically includes Tanzania’s most iconic safari destinations, such as Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and multiple regions of the Serengeti National Park. Each location is selected for its unique ecosystems, high wildlife density, and strategic importance in tracking the Great Migration.
