Forever immortalised in films such as "The Lion King", the Great Migration is Mother Nature's greatest wildlife show on earth. On our Great Migration tour ideas, you can marvel at millions of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes traversing through the vast savannah plains of East Africa's Serengeti and Maasai Mara. It's a spectacle like none other and a must-see for die-hard safari lovers!

As the best in the African safari biz, we've travelled far and wide across our continent to test everything (tough job, we know!) so that you only experience the very best. If it did not meet our (high) expectations, then it just won't do for our valued guests like yourself! Furthermore, you don't have to choose a tour from a set menu. Instead, you get to pick and choose, and our Travel Experts will recommend the best experiences based on your needs and tastes.

Serengeti National Park

Vast open plains, masses of animals, abundant birdlife – this is the stuff you see in movies. The Serengeti National Park is world famous for the Great Migration when over two million animals pass through its plains. This is also when the vast expanse of grasslands make the Serengeti fantastic for spotting predator kills because you can see the whole spectacle clearly. However, there's more to this wildlife mecca than the Great Migration. From cultural tours and exploring colourful villages to hot air balloon safaris and admiring the wildlife-packed terrain, it's a year-round safari paradise.
