Witness nature's greatest spectacle on this immersive Serengeti safari

Get up close and personal with the great wildebeest migration and stay in comfortable tented camps in the remote and uncrowded wilderness.

There are few experiences on Earth that match the sheer scale and drama of the Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles follow nature’s ancient rhythm, crossing the vast plains of the Serengeti in search of fresh grass and water. It is deeply moving to witness in person.

This epic journey takes you through the diverse landscapes of Arusha National Park and the vibrant ecosystem of Lake Manyara, home to vast groups of flamingos and iconic tree-climbing lions. You’ll visit the famous Ngorongoro Crater and the soul-stirring southern Serengeti, where the incredible migration unfolds. Each destination offers something unique and truly special.

You’ll stay in thoughtfully chosen accommodation, from eco-friendly mobile camps to rustic, nature-inspired lodges, each offering comfort and warmth without disturbing the natural surroundings, providing a rare and truly immersive connection to Africa’s wilderness.

Our Tanzania specialist, Ottilie, says:

"This is one of the trips I love planning most because of the range of places you get to experience, and there's nothing like seeing the Great Migration in person – the herds stretching across the Serengeti, the dust rising as they move. It’s the quieter moments that make it special too, like hearing a lion’s roar at night or being the only vehicle for miles. I’ve spent time in Tanzania, and know how to shape a Migration itinerary that gets you away from the crowds, with the right camps, in the right place, at the right time. That’s what makes it special."

January

January is mixed when it comes to weather, temperatures rise whilst the chance of rain and humidity increases. It is still a good time to go, as the rates are lower yet the game viewing is still excellent.

The weather remains hot with a chance of rain in February.

  • Meanwhile in the Ndutu Plains the migration is still occurring.

  • Migrating herds start to leave Ndutu, heading West towards Grumeti.
Expand
