Best of Tanzania and Great Migration safari

Best of Tanzania and Great Migration Safari will let you explore the very best that Tanzania has to offer. Be ready for Authentic Experience to Remember, from the far- reaching un spoilt plains of the Serengeti National Park, the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, and the seething wildlife Lake Manyara to Tarangire National Park, the home of Elephants.

This safari will give you the chance to witness the spectacular wildebeest migration in Grumeti River.

June is traditionally marks the start of the Grumeti River crossings, as the herds risk it all to continue their trek to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya.

The Grumeti River is home to some of the world’s biggest Nile crocodiles. These crocodiles are infrequent eaters and wait for the migration river crossings to provide them with food.

Experience the ultimate adventure in Tanzania with our Best of Tanzania Safari! Explore the amazing landscapes and wildlife that Tanzania is famous for, and create memories that will stay with you forever.

Explore the shores of Lake Manyara, where you'll find flamingos and unique tree-climbing lions. Whether you're on a game drive or simply enjoying the tranquility of the lake, every moment here is special.
