Serengeti Safari Tanzania
A safari in Serengeti National Park delivers one of Africa’s most unforgettable wildlife adventures. Spanning the vast plains of northern Tanzania, the Serengeti is where nature’s drama unfolds in every direction. On a Serengeti safari tour, you’ll witness the legendary Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, alongside cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, and hundreds of bird species.
Each year, more than a million wildebeest and zebra thunder across the grasslands in the world-famous Great Migration, a breathtaking spectacle of survival and movement. Our Serengeti trips place you at the heart of this natural wonder, whether you join a classic game drive, a multi-day Tanzania safari package, or an exclusive hot-air balloon flight for a bird’s-eye view of the golden savannah.
The park offers unique regions to explore: Central Serengeti (Seronera) teems with predators year-round, the Western Corridor shines from May to July as herds gather along the Grumeti River, and the Northern Serengeti thrills from July to October with dramatic Mara River crossings.
Why Should You Choose the Serengeti as the Location for Your Safari?
The annual Great Wildebeest Migration, its wide-open meadows, and its diverse fauna are among the reasons why the Serengeti National Park is well-known worldwide. Here is where you may see game all year long, along with the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos.
The major factors influencing tourists’ decisions to visit the Serengeti are:
• Continuously high wildlife density throughout the year
• Significant River crossings and the Great Migration
• The famous African scenery and boundless plains
• Ideal for photographers, families, and newcomers

Serengeti Migration Safari
Witness one of the planet’s greatest wildlife spectacles on a Serengeti Migration Safari. Each year, over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles follow the rains across the vast plains of northern Tanzania, creating the world-famous Great Migration. This continuous, circular journey covers hundreds of miles and offers unforgettable encounters with predators and prey in their natural rhythm.
From December to March, the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area become a birthing ground, where thousands of calves are born within weeks—drawing lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. By May and June, the herds surge through the Western Corridor toward the Grumeti River, facing dramatic river crossings and crocodile ambushes. From July to October, the migration reaches the Northern Serengeti and the Mara River, where thrilling crossings and intense predator action create iconic safari moments.
Our Serengeti migration tours are crafted to place you at the right location for each stage of this natural phenomenon. Travel by custom 4×4 vehicle with expert guides who know the herds’ patterns, or upgrade to a hot-air balloon ride for an awe-inspiring aerial view.
Choose from luxury lodges, mobile camps that follow the migration, or combination packages with Ngorongoro Crater and other parks. Whether you plan a quick fly-in or a multi-day Tanzania safari, a Serengeti migration safari promises extraordinary photography and lifetime memories.
Explore our curated migration itineraries and secure your front-row seat to the greatest wildlife show on earth.
