Safari vehicles among wildebeest herds on the Serengeti plains
The Great Migration

Follow the herds across the Serengeti

The wildebeest herds move through the Serengeti all year: calving on the southern plains from about January to March, river crossings in the north from about July to October. We plan your days around where they are likely to be.

  • Prices you can see. Every trip shows its price per person by group size, with what is included and what is not.
  • Planned in Arusha. We know the roads, the seasons and the camps, and we adjust your plan until it fits you.
