7-Day Serengeti Migration Safari

  • 7 days / 6 nights
  • 4 destinations
  • Flexible / mixed

Overview

More time where it matters: an extended Serengeti stay positioned around the migration, plus Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the crater.

The migration moves with the rains, so this itinerary is flexible by design: we position your Serengeti nights in the south during calving season, in the centre and west during the long migration months, or in the north for the river crossings.

Exact routing is decided with you when we know your travel dates.
