7 Days Serengeti Great Wildebeest Migration Safari

Safari 7 days / 6 nights Private
Overview

Built to give you the best chance of seeing the Great Migration: Tarangire, the Central and Northern Serengeti with mid-range camps, then a flight to Zanzibar's beaches.

If seeing the Great Migration is the dream, this is the trip we plan around it: two nights deep in the Northern Serengeti, close to the herds, then a flight to Zanzibar to slow down on the beach.

The Living Hope Mission Safaris team

This itinerary is built to maximise your chance of seeing the Great Migration in Serengeti National Park. It also visits Tarangire National Park, known for its elephants and baobab trees. You travel on guided game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle with an experienced guide who tracks wildlife and explains animal behaviour, staying in mid-range lodges and camps. It suits solo travellers, couples and groups alike.
