About this safari
Prepare for a 5-day Tanzania Serengeti River Crossing migration safari focused on the dramatic movement of wildlife through diverse landscapes. This journey offers the opportunity to experience Tanzania’s National Park through exciting game drives and tours, with the Serengeti at the heart of the safari experience. The annual wildebeest migration is one of nature’s most remarkable movements: vast numbers of wildebeest travel in a fairly predictable annual pattern, accompanied by large numbers of zebras and other animals. A river crossing safari brings this migration story into focus, combining expansive scenery with the anticipation of seeing wildlife move through the landscape. Across five days, you can enjoy time in the Serengeti, observe the changing character of the wilderness, and experience the distinctive atmosphere created by the migration. Game drives provide the setting for exploring the park and viewing wildlife in its natural environment, while tours add variety to your time in Tanzania. The combination of Serengeti scenery, moving herds, zebras, and other animals makes this safari unique for travellers seeking a focused migration experience. The route and lodging arrangements are not specified in the available package information, so accommodation details should be confirmed before booking. What is clear is the central theme of the trip: five days dedicated to Tanzania, the Serengeti, game drives, diverse landscapes, and the extraordinary annual movement of wildebeest. Whether your interest is wildlife, natural landscapes, or the spectacle of the migration, this safari is designed around the opportunity to witness one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife events in the Serengeti.

After an early breakfast, depart toward the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains".
The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings being filmed in this park.
