Trip Overview
Follow the Herds Across the Serengeti
Every year more than a million wildebeest, together with zebra and gazelle, move in a great circle through the Serengeti in search of fresh grass. This safari gives you three days in the park, staying in camps placed close to the herds, so you spend more time watching and less time driving.
Your private driver guide follows the migration and the lions, cheetahs and hyenas that hunt alongside it. The trip starts with Tarangire's elephants and ends in the Ngorongoro Crater, home to the rare black rhino.
- Three days in the Serengeti with the migration
- Tented camps close to the herds
- Big cat sightings around the herds
- Elephant herds in Tarangire
