Great Wildebeest Migration Tanzania – The World's Most Iconic Safari Experience

This 8-day safari takes you through Tanzania’s premier wildlife destinations: Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration as thousands of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains, with predators in pursuit. Spot elephants in Tarangire, enjoy stunning views of Mount Meru, and explore the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater. With expert guides, comfortable lodges, and seamless logistics, this journey delivers an unforgettable African wilderness experience.

The Luxury Green Season Safari is seven days in northern Tanzania when the rains turn the plains green, the crowds thin out and new life is everywhere. On the Ndutu plains of the southern Serengeti you follow the wildebeest and zebra herds with their young calves, along with the lions, cheetahs and hyenas that hunt them.

Along the way you explore Tarangire National Park with its baobabs and elephant herds, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full game drive, take a guided walk in the Ngorongoro highlands and spend your last night in the Central Serengeti. At the end, drive back to Arusha or take a short flight to Zanzibar for time on the beach.

You stay in hand-picked lodges and luxury tented camps, including Tloma Tented Lodge, Rhino Lodge, Heritage Ndutu Camp and Central Serengeti Luxury Camp, with a private 4×4 Land Cruiser, a professional driver-guide, all meals and park fees included. Green season means lush scenery, great birding and quieter game drives. Short on time? Try the 5-Day Big Time Wild Miracle Safari.

Explore Tanzania’s iconic landscapes on this 6-Day Big Time Adventure through the Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro Crater. Witness wildebeest and zebra herds, lions, elephants, and other wildlife in their natural habitat, guided by expert Big Time safari teams. Experience breathtaking sunrises over the crater rim, immersive game drives, and unforgettable moments that bring Africa’s wilderness to life.

Our 5 Day Ndutu Safari is timed for the calving season, from late January to early March, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra give birth on the short-grass plains of Ndutu in the southern Serengeti. The newborn calves draw lions, cheetahs, hyenas and jackals, which makes this some of the most exciting predator viewing in Africa.

The Wild Miracle Safari starts in Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. You then spend two full days following the herds around Ndutu before finishing with a game drive on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Tanzania to see the Big Five, including the endangered black rhino.

This is a private safari in a 4×4 Land Cruiser with a professional driver-guide, with lodge and tented camp nights, all meals, park fees and airport transfers included. Want more time on the plains?
