8 DAYS SERENGETI WILDEBEEST MIGRATION SAFARI
Overview
8 Days Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari
Serengeti National Park is arguably the best and most visited in National Park in Tanzania. The abundance of wildlife makes this National Park the most attractive. The park holds a large number of big and small animals, mostly the population of Wildebeest, Zebra, Lion, Hyena, Cheetah, Impala, and Gazelle. North Serengeti is the focal point of our safari. Famed for the eye-catching displays of the thousands of crossing animals. These animals cross the Mara River yearly, a River that separates the Serengeti from the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Crocodiles that reside in this river wait patiently for the thirsty and desperate herds that attempt to cross. Witnessing these crossings is one of the most fascinating experiences one can have.
To supplement these experiences we have planned visits to the Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron and Ngorongoro Crater is full of wildlife for us to enjoy.
This itinerary suits all types of travelers; it is great for family vacations, couples, groups, and even solo travelers.
