8-Day Semi-Luxury Migration Safari in Northern Serengeti

Follow the herds on an 8-day semi-luxury migration safari in the Northern Serengeti. First, visit Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater for elephants, lions and black rhinos. Then travel north to watch wildebeest and zebras crossing the open plains. Look for predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards near the herds. You stay in upgraded lodges and tented camps with friendly service. The timing of the Great Migration changes through the year, so sightings depend on the season.

In addition, the north is calm and far from the crowds. As a result, you often enjoy sightings with few other vehicles.
