7 Days Great Migration Safari | Private Serengeti Tour — Overview
Our 7 Days Great Migration Safari is a fully private journey designed to give you the best possible chance of witnessing the Great Migration, without sharing your vehicle or schedule with other travelers. From the moment you depart Arusha, the itinerary, pace and photo stops are entirely yours.
The safari begins in Tarangire National Park before settling into three nights in the Serengeti — more time than most 7-day itineraries offer — giving your private guide the flexibility to reposition based on where the herds currently are, whether that's calving in the south, crossing the Grumeti, or moving through the north.
