The journey
Embark on an 8-day adventure to experience the breathtaking wildebeest migration safari in Northern Serengeti. Witness nature's spectacle as endless herds of wildebeest traverse the vast plains, and enjoy exhilarating game drives in search of the Big Five and other magnificent wildlife. Explore the sweeping landscapes and diverse ecosystems of Serengeti National Park, and get up close to nature on a guided walking safari in Tarangire. Each evening, unwind in comfortable accommodations that blend relaxation with immersion in the wild.
Soon, the impressive Great Rift Valley Escarpment will come into view - a 2,000-foot-high wall that rises, improbably steep and incredibly tall, out of the flat plains.
