Serengeti Great Migration Safaris in Tanzania

With Africa Pathways Expedition

Witness one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles — the Serengeti Great Migration — with our expertly crafted safari packages, exclusively offered by Africa Pathways Expedition. These are not just safaris; they are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that follow the rhythm of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles as they journey across the vast Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing lands.

Our Great Migration safaris are among the top-rated Tanzania safari itineraries, designed to place you at the heart of the action during the most dramatic moments of the migration: the Calving Season in the Southern Serengeti and the River Crossing Season in the Northern Serengeti.

Calving Season Safaris (December – March)

Travel to the Ndutu plains in the Southern Serengeti, where the Great Migration pauses to give birth to hundreds of thousands of calves. The short grass plains offer ideal visibility for game viewing and photography. This is a predator’s paradise — as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas take advantage of the abundance of vulnerable young prey. It’s the perfect time for travelers seeking intense wildlife drama, excellent photographic opportunities, and fewer crowds.

Highlights:

Watch as massive herds plunge into crocodile-infested waters, struggling to reach the Masai Mara side of the ecosystem. Our exclusive safari packages put you in the right place at the right time, with experienced guides who track the herds and optimize every moment of your game drives.
