Following the Great Migration...

---

A wildlife safari following the Great Migration is without any doubts one of the best experiences that Tanzania can offer. Every year, the endless Serengeti National Park becomes the scenic frame where more than 2 millions wildebeest, zebra and gazelle migrate looking for greener pasture.

This amazing natural show is a good reason to plan your trip paying attention to the calendar! If seeing the Great Migration is the main goal of your safari, it's better to contact directly our specialists... but in the meantime, have a look at some quick guidelines.

December - March 

Don't miss Ndutu region and Ndutu Lake, part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This is the place where big herds of herbivorous concentrate in these months. This area is the continuation of Serengeti South.

For accommodation, the most famous place is Ndutu Safari Lodge, but there are also several mobile camps that stop here in this period.

April - May

Despite the wet weather typical of the rainy season, these months are still a good option for people looking for a real adventure in the low tourist season. The migration moves from Ndutu to Serengeti South, Western Corridor and Serengeti central.

This is also the area where most of hotels are located, so you can easily choose between a small and intimate tented camp and a big lodge like Sopa or Wildlife.

July - October

The Great Migration congragates in Northern Serengeti, most of all along Mara River. This is one of the less visited areas of park. You can reach it from Arusha, the starting point of many safaris in the Northern Circuit.

Going to unspoiled area of Serengeti, it is possible to combine the safari with a visit to the majestic Lake Victoria and the nice Mwanza town.

October - December

Once reaching Northern Serengeti, the herds of herbivorous enter in Masai Mara Park (Kenya) and then, from the end of October, they start their travel back to Southern Serengeti and Ndutu area, where they can be seen from December.
