Northern Tanzania
Each year, the Tanzanian Serengeti hosts one of the biggest natural spectacles on Earth: the Great Migration. More than one and a half million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles cross the plains to their new feeding areas, at the same time resulting in a moveable feast for the lions, cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles lying in wait around the Mara river. Those who’ve witnessed this event call it a once in a life time experience.
Nature’s biggest show
Starting at the world heritage site of Ngorongoro, you’ll descend into the crater by 4 wheel drive. The mountain ringed plain – the world’s largest, inactive and unfilled volcanic caldera – is a natural Noah’s ark, and is home to many of the most emblematic examples of African wildlife.
Upon leaving the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the real fun begins, as we venture into the Serengeti National Park, on the lookout for the big cats who thrive in certain areas.
The Serengeti covers an astounding 15,000 km2, and while the exact areas we explore will depend on the season as we follow the steps of the Great Migration, all across the plains you’ll see enormous herds of wildebeest and zebras, hunted by big cats. This is a one of a kind photographic safari, letting you experience first hand moments worthy of a National Geographic or Discovery Channel documentary.
The wonder and excitement of a Serengeti safari can be enjoyed in the low season when fewer tourists crowd the majestic landscapes. From June to October, the Great Migration crosses back and forth over the Mara River, a spectacular sight, but also the busiest time of the year. Marvel at cheetah on termite mounds surveying the landscapes for prey, elephant herds on vast plains, and other fantastic wildlife. Book your Serengeti safari now and discover its secrets for yourself.
This safari can also be combined with other experiences by Planeta Azul such as Mountain Gorillas, Zanzibar, or other destinations.
