Alongside the calving herds, you may also encounter elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and a wide variety of bird species, enhancing the richness of the safari experience.
Each day combines action-packed wildlife viewing with moments to relax at your lodge or mobile camp, enjoying the stunning landscapes of the Serengeti at sunrise and sunset. From dramatic predator activity to intimate observations of newborn wildebeest calves, this 4-day safari provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the Great Migration in its most dynamic and memorable phase.
