7 Days Serengeti Migration Tracking Safari Tarantula Adventure Safaris
Serengeti Wildebeest Migr
Tanzania
Description
Follow the rhythm of the Great Wildebeest Migration on a 7-day Tanzania safari designed around seasonal
wildlife movements.
The most important thing about a genuine migration safari is flexibility. The wildebeest do not follow a fixed calendar, and their location changes according to rainfall, grazing conditions and other natural factors.
For this reason, Tarantula Adventure Safaris will plan the route around the expected location of the herds during your travel dates, rather than promising a particular sighting.
You may encounter huge wildebeest and zebra herds, predators following the migration and, during the appropriate season and with luck, dramatic river-crossing activity.
River crossings and specific wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Why we don’t guarantee one Serengeti camp
A migration safari should follow the animals—not force the animals to follow the itinerary.
Your Serengeti accommodation should therefore be selected according to the season and expected location of the migration. This provides a more genuine migration experience than permanently
assigning the same Central Serengeti camp throughout the year.
