Overview

Witness the greatest wildlife show on earth. This five-day safari follows the Great Migration — over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras — as they move across the Serengeti's endless plains.

Depending on the season, you'll position yourself for dramatic river crossings, where crocodiles wait in the water and predators shadow the herds. Nights are spent in a luxury tented camp close to the action, and an optional hot air balloon safari lets you float over the herds at sunrise.

An expert naturalist guide reads the movements of the migration daily, so your game drives are always where the action is.
