Great Migration & Big Cat Safari

Tracking the wildebeest columns and resident big cats across the Serengeti’s open plains

The Expedition Narrative

From the great wildebeest migration to the resident big cats of the plains, the Serengeti is where most guests anchor their entire Tanzania route — we build around whatever the herds and predators are doing when you travel.

Curated Highlights & Inclusions

The Serengeti is usually the anchor most guests build their whole Tanzania trip around

Can be linked with Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, or Zanzibar depending on your pace

Timed to the migration’s calving and river-crossing seasons, or built for year-round resident cats

How This Route Can Be Built

Opening

Central or Northern Serengeti

Extension

Optional Ngorongoro or Tarangire Add-On

Many guests extend into the crater highlands or Tarangire’s elephant country before flying home.

Closing

Onward to Zanzibar or Departure

The Serengeti pairs naturally with a Zanzibar beach finish, or a direct flight back to Kilimanjaro.

Bespoke Pacing Notice:All routes can be lengthened, shortened, or merged with Zanzibar beach retreats or Nyungwe primates.
