Experience the thrill of the wild on our 4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari, a once-in-a-lifetime journey into the heart of Africa’s most iconic natural spectacle – the Great Wildebeest Migration.

This 4-day Serengeti safari is tailored for wildlife lovers, photographers, and adventurers who want to witness this breathtaking movement in real time.
Whether you’re aiming to see dramatic river crossings, predator action, or massive grazing herds, this migration safari brings you up close to one of the planet’s most awe-inspiring wildlife events.

The Great Migration is a year-round event but the location changes by season. Here’s a simplified migration calendar:

April to June: Herds move through central Serengeti
July to October: Dramatic Mara River crossings in northern Serengeti
November: Return journey to the south
We tailor your 4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari based on your travel dates and match you with the best wildlife-viewing areas.
Your wildebeest safari adventure begins with a morning departure from Arusha, heading through the scenic highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and into the vast plains of the Serengeti. Along the way, you’ll spot Masai villages, wildlife, and endless horizons. Upon entering the park, enjoy your first game drive en route to your selected camp or lodge, ideally located near the migration route (depending on season – Seronera, Ndutu, or Kogatende). Overnight stay inside Serengeti.
This is your ultimate day to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti. You’ll spend the day following the massive herds of wildebeests and zebras, guided by expert trackers. Depending on the month, you may witness thrilling river crossings, predators stalking prey, or even calving and nurturing behaviors during the birthing season. Expect to encounter lions, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, and more. Enjoy a packed lunch in the bush before continuing your full-day Serengeti safari.
Another full day in the Serengeti ecosystem offers more opportunities to explore areas rich in wildlife movement. Your guide will take you to areas less traveled by crowds to increase chances of authentic wildlife encounters. This day is ideal for photography, close-up animal interactions, and capturing the sheer scale of the migration. You’ll also explore the scenic beauty of the park: rolling grasslands, acacia woodlands, rocky outcrops (kopjes), and river valleys.
After an early breakfast, you’ll enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, capturing last glimpses of the wildlife and the herds. Begin your return journey through the Ngorongoro highlands, with optional stops along the way (like Maasai village visit). Arrive back in Arusha by evening, ending your 4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari with unforgettable memories of the wildebeest migration.
