The 8 days great Serengeti migration safari this route has been designed to focus on the movement of wild animals from north Serengeti crossing to mara river. Most wild animals especially wildebeest are moved from national parks to the north Serengeti to find and search for nutritious grass and water. Tanzania’s great Serengeti migration safari crossing the mara river in northern safari is the largest herd movement of animals on the planet. In fact, with up to 1,000 animals per km², the great columns of wildebeest can be seen from space. The numbers are astonishing: over 1.2 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebras along with Topi and other gazelle move in a constant cycle through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search of nutritious grass and water. We have designed the itinerary which includes both the Lobo area (in the north of the central Serengeti national park) and the wagakuria area (which is located in northern Serengeti national park) it has been found that a majority of the wildebeest migration is normally found from mid -July to October. The migration heading north out of the central Serengeti is splitting into two routes. The main route heading into the western corridor crosses the Grumeti river in spectacular stampedes. Enormous crocodiles wait patiently to snatch wildebeests as they surge across the river. The wildebeest continue to move steadily
