6-Day Fly-In Serengeti Wildebeest Migration -Safari
Witness one of Africa's greatest wildlife spectacles — the Wildebeest Migration in Tanzania's legendary Serengeti National Park. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, migrate in a dramatic cycle across the vast Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing and water.
From July to October, huge herds gather in the Northern Serengeti, where they must cross the dangerous Mara River — a thrilling stage for dramatic predator encounters and the iconic river crossings that make the Great Migration Safari truly unforgettable.
✅ Why Choose a Fly-In Northern Serengeti Migration Safari?
- Prime Location: Stay near the Mara River where wildebeest crossings happen.
- Unmatched Wildlife Viewing: Big cats, elephants, giraffes, and dramatic river crossings all in one safari.
- Fewer Crowds: Compared to Kenya's Maasai Mara, Tanzania's Northern Serengeti is quieter and more exclusive.
- Luxury Fly-In Camps: Stay in mobile migration camps or tented lodges right where the action is.
- Save Time: Skip long drives and fly directly to the migration corridor.
