Two million wildebeest, one very dramatic river and you in the best seat in the house.
Every year over two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle trek between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara, chasing the rains and the fresh grass. It is the biggest wildlife show on the planet and nobody sells tickets.
The drama peaks at the river crossings, when the herds gather on the bank, argue for hours and then, all at once, jump. Crocodiles wait below. You will forget to blink.
Timing is everything, so we match your dates to where the herds will be and book the camps closest to the action. Dust, drama and a very good sundowner are guaranteed.
If you only have time for one, this is the one our guests rave about long after they are home.
Bestseller · MigrationCamp a short drive from the Mara River, rise before the sun and wait with your guide on the bank for the moment the herds decide to go. Add a champagne bush breakfast and a quiet conservancy for night drives and you have the trip people talk about for years.
Five journeys and zero stress. Choose the one that makes your heart do a little drumroll, then tell us what to tweak. Sawa sawa, we can change anything.
River Crossings01Settle in near the Mara River and give the crossings every chance. Early mornings, long picnic lunches and a front-row seat when the herds finally jump.
Tanzania02Tarangire's elephants first, then five nights in the Serengeti where the herds roam, with a last stop at the Ngorongoro Crater for good measure.
Two Countries03Follow the migration from the Mara across the border into the Serengeti and watch the plains change colour. The full epic, start to finish.
Calving Season04January to March is calving season, with thousands of newborns and every predator in town paying close attention. Gentle, gripping and wonderfully photogenic.
Migration From Above05Float over the herds at dawn in a hot-air balloon, then land to a champagne breakfast on the plains. A bucket-list morning wrapped in a short, sweet safari.
