Listen to the thundering hooves of a million wildebeest as they continue their timeless search for water. Spot zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland among the herd as the plains dry out and concentrate the animals along the rivers… the only source of life. Experience the struggle for survival as predators move in to find their next meal among such a tremendous grouping of prey.

You’ll have front-row seats for this Great Migration, following the herds in your semi-nomadic safari camp and getting close to the action in a four-wheel-drive vehicle with your own Tanzanian driver/guide.

Unlike most Tanzanian safaris, you’ll avoid the long, rough drives between destinations, flying in and out of Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and, depending on where the wildebeest are at the time, Serengeti National Park.
