This unique and exclusive tour is intended to provide you with an experience of a lifetime in the wake of the Great Migration in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is home to millions of wildebeests, thousands of zebras, and a variety of antelopes that migrate in search of new grazing grounds, making it one of the most famous wildlife spectacles on the planet. You'll stay in the park for at least two nights, which will give you plenty of time to see the amazing wildlife action during the migration, when huge herds of animals move across the plains in a breathtaking demonstration of the natural cycle. Your safari experience will be even more exciting if you have the opportunity to see predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas that follow the herds while you're there.
The tour takes you through various park areas and is designed to give you a complete Serengeti experience. You will travel through the western corridor and the southern plains, each of which offers distinctive scenery and opportunities to see wildlife. You will have expanded your wildlife adventure by visiting a variety of areas by the end of your safari before taking a plane to Zanzibar to unwind.

Your knowledgeable and experienced local English-speaking safari driver guide from Colours Africa Tours and Safari will meet you when you arrive at Seronera Airstrip. After a brief pre-safari briefing, he will take you on a game drive through Serengeti National Park, where you may see a pride of lions relaxing in the shade or large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles.
