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.

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."

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.

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.

  • During this time migratory herds are in the Serengeti for calving season, meaning the Ndutu plains are busy.

February

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

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

March

March is the calm before the storm, before heavy rains and humidity builds. Visitors can take great advantage of lower rates during the low season.

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

April

April experiences continued periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.

May

During may there is periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.

June

June heralds the wet season, bringing lush green vegetation which can make spotting game more difficult. It is a particularly great time for birders as parks become populated by migratory birds especially in the South.

  • Migration is still in the Grumeti area, heading north.

July

July is the start of peak season, temperatures reach up to 30 degrees and the surrounding land becomes drier and spotting game is becoming easier.

  • The migration is in the Northern Serengeti moving towards Kenya.

August

August is peak season, with bush land drying out game spotting becomes much easier. If you want to experience Tanzania game at its best, August is the time to travel.

  • The migration still remains in the north.

September

Peak season continues in September, the Northern circuit can be very busy, if you want to avoid crowds it's best to visit the southern parks.

  • The end of the migration is still in the north with herds on both side of the Kenyan and Tanzanian borders.

October

Peak season continues into October with good game viewing in the Serengeti and southern parks.

  • The migration has now crossed over into Kenya.

November

November is the start of the rainy season, the rains tend to be overnight so it is still a popular time to travel. During this month you can take advantage of low season rates.

  • Migration crossing over into the Serengeti can be seen a the Tanzania and Kenya border.

December

Rains continue in December, whilst the temperature and humidity start to build. Venturing out on safari is generally good, with large game still easily spotted.

  • Migrating herds in the north travel south back to Ndutu.
