Enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing and capture nature in all its glory as you drive through the Serengeti in search of migratory wildlife. Depending on the timing, this 8-day migratory safari may take place in Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, or South Serengeti. The itinerary is flexible, and accommodation will be reserved according to the movement of the animals. In the north of the Serengeti near the Mara River, you will witness the spectacular migration. This part of the Serengeti is covered in bushes and vegetation that attract various species of herbivores and can make wildlife easier to spot than in the open grasslands. Here, you may also expect to see crocodiles hunting wildebeest.
