THIS TOUR IS DESIGNED FOR OPTIMAL MIGRATION VIEWING
Many companies operate the same cookie-cutter “GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI” year-round, driving the entire northern circuit of Tanzania & Kenya with no care taken to be in a particular place at a time that jibes with the arrival of the herds.
This 10 Days Great Migration Safari is focus on the best time to see the animals. Specifically, our ground operation spend time during peak migration season in the southern Serengeti, where over a million wildebeest drop their young on the plains every year, attracting predators for a remarkable nature experience.

LUXURY TENTED CAMP ACROSS SERENGETI IN PURSUIT OF THE HERDS
Our luxury tented camps are in proximity to thousands of wildebeest and the zebra and gazelle that trail them. Each year, the great herds traverse the Serengeti Plains in search of new grass, birthing their young while on the move. Lion and cheetah lie in wait, finely tuned hunting machines ready to stalk and take down the weakest members of the herds.
In the center of the world’s greatest ancient migration route, we are subsumed in a primal spectacle as the drama of predator and prey unfolds before us. Witness it in rare seclusion from our intimate camps, outposts of bush luxury in remote locales where you’re immersed in the wonder of one of the world’s truly epic wildlife events.

A small group is essential for optimal wildlife viewing. We generally have the smallest group sizes in the safari industry, though we take a maximum of approximately 18 on this trip, divided into several vehicles. Small groups mean we get closer to the herds, get better photos, and enjoy more personalized interaction with our Expedition Leader.
A WINDOW SEAT FOR EVERY TRAVELER
We guarantee a window seat for every guest. Whereas many safari operators use crowded mini-buses, and even luxury operators often utilize every seat, including middles, we know how important unimpeded views are when you’ve come all this way to see and photograph the migration. That’s why we split our group into separate vehicles, each guest with a guaranteed window seat.

Searching for the herds requires a good dose of luck, patience and staying in the right location. The herds move every month or two, driven by instinct and the search for fresh grazing. This itinerary have been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the Tanzania and Kenya side Great Migration.
FLY BETWEEN KEY LOCATIONS, TO REDUCE LONG DRIVES & ENHANCE TIME ON SAFARI
Take advantage of three internal flights, allowing us to cover a vast territory without long, dusty overland drives—we maximize your time with wildlife instead!
Rather than subject you to long, dusty drives between camps, we have included three separate flights—this is a tremendous advantage when it comes to adding more time on safari with wildlife, and less time bouncing around in a vehicle on rough roads. Compare itineraries carefully: we doubt you’ll find such transportation advantages on most safaris!
