A Tanzanian company, sharing the real Tanzania

This 7-day Northern Serengeti Migration Safari is designed for travellers who want to spend time in the Serengeti during the season when herds may move through the northern plains and Mara River area.

The visible itinerary includes Tarangire, central and northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Lake Manyara.

Migration and river-crossing sightings are never guaranteed, so the guide plans each day around season, rainfall, road conditions, and recent wildlife movement.
