Tarangire to Serengeti National Park North
Home of Endless Plains and the Great Migration
Stretching across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife, most notably the Big Five. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and a small following of zebras seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Masai Mara before eventually returning.
Highlights:
Where the Great Migration puts on part of its great show
It’s big, like 1.5 million hectares big
Offers some of the best game viewing in Africa
Home to the Big Five, as well as a mighty big lion population
Evening: You'll spend the nights in the so-called migration camp, strategically located close to the migration, ensuring you won’t miss a single moment of the action.

Northern Serengeti National Park Migration Viewing
You'll spend your days exploring the northern reaches of the Serengeti on safari, tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers. If you’re there at the right time for the great migration (depending on the season), this is the region where the herds are at their most concentrated as they seek to cross the Mara River to reach the open grasslands beyond, and it’s where (if you’re lucky) you’ll see iconic river crossings. It’s also an area of untamed natural beauty, of rolling hills, rivers, forests, and open plains.
