Nature's greatest show

Follow the Great Wildebeest Migration

Two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle on the move — river crossings from July to October, calving season from December to March. We track the herds year-round.

Good to know

Tanzania Safari Questions, Answered

When is the best time to see the Great Wildebeest Migration?

River crossings in the northern Serengeti peak from July to October, while calving season in Ndutu runs December to March. Both are spectacular — our guides plan routes around where the herds actually are.

How many days do I need for a Tanzania safari?

Five to eight days covers the northern circuit — Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater — at a comfortable pace. Add three to four days for a Zanzibar beach finish or seven for a Kilimanjaro climb.

Are your safaris private or group tours?

Both. Most guests travel on private safaris with their own 4x4 and guide, fully customised. We also run small joining-group departures for solo travellers and couples on a budget.

Is Tanzania safe for families with children?

Yes — Tanzania is one of Africa's most family-friendly safari destinations. We arrange child-friendly lodges, shorter driving days and guides who are wonderful with kids.
