TOUR OVERVIEW

This 7-day Great Migration Safari is a well-crafted journey through some of Tanzania’s most remarkable and wildlife-rich national parks, offering you a chance to witness one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth the Great Wildebeest Migration. Beginning in Arusha, the safari leads to Tarangire National Park, known for its impressive herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees, and diverse birdlife.
