Join us on a breathtaking 9-days-migration-safaris-river-crossing adventure through the Northern Serengeti. From start to finish, this trip brings you face-to-face with Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacle—the Great Migration river crossings.
Every year, millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, braving crocodile-infested waters and waiting predators. On this safari, you’ll follow their movements and witness this natural drama unfold. Unlike other safaris, this journey focuses entirely on the migration and the powerful story it tells.
Your experience begins in Arusha, where you’ll catch a scenic bush flight to the Northern Serengeti. Once there, your daily game drives will keep you close to the herds. Thanks to our expert guides, you’ll be in the right place at the right time.
In addition to witnessing the migration, you’ll also encounter lions, cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes. These sightings add excitement to every drive. Moreover, the Northern Serengeti is less crowded, offering a more intimate and peaceful safari experience.
Each evening, you’ll return to a luxury lodge or tented camp. These accommodations are ideally located near the Mara River, giving you an unmatched view of the migration. After your game drive, relax with sundowners, bush dinners, or a warm fire under the stars.
Furthermore, our 9-days-migration-safaris-river-crossing itinerary includes flexible scheduling. This way, we can maximize your chances of seeing a river crossing. Whether it’s your first safari or a dream trip, every day will leave you in awe.
