9 Days Great Migration Safari
A nine-day private safari through Tanzania's northern circuit, ending in the northern Serengeti near the Mara River — the area the wildebeest herds often reach in the dry season.
You warm up in Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, spend two days in the central Serengeti, then fly or drive north for two full days along the river. Herd movements depend on rain and grazing, so we fine-tune the northern camp to your travel dates.
Highlights
- Two full days in the northern Serengeti near the Mara River (dry-season herds are often here)
- Ngorongoro Crater game drive
- Big-cat country in the central Serengeti
- Tarangire's elephants and baobabs
