Starting from $qqqq

An Unforgettable Wildlife Experience in the Serengeti

This 6-day Great Migration safari offers a focused journey into the heart of the Northern Serengeti, combined with a complete Northern Circuit experience.


Starting with a fly-in to the Northern Serengeti—home to dramatic river crossings during migration season—this itinerary allows dedicated time in one of Africa’s most sought-after wildlife regions. The journey then continues through Central Serengeti, followed by the Ngorongoro Highlands, the Ngorongoro Crater, and concludes in Tarangire National Park.


Six days, multiple highlights what to expect:

  • Serengeti National Park (Northern) – Great Migration crossings, predator action, and remote wilderness

  • Serengeti National Park (Central) – year-round wildlife and classic savannah landscapes

  • Ngorongoro Crater – one of Africa’s most wildlife-dense areas with strong Big Five chances

  • Tarangire National Park – large elephant herds, baobab trees, and river-based wildlife viewing


The route is strategically designed: starting with maximum time in the Northern Serengeti for migration viewing, then gradually moving through the circuit — ideal for travelers seeking both a specific wildlife event and a complete safari experience.
