Follow the Great Migration across the Kenya-Tanzania border — ten nights timed to put you where the herds are, whichever side of the Mara River that is.
The Great Migration doesn't respect borders, so neither does this itinerary. We track the herds' seasonal movement between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara and time your route accordingly, including one internal flight to save driving time between countries.
Witness one of nature's greatest wildlife spectacles as vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
Experience the legendary Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya's Maasai Mara in one journey.
Travel through the Mara ecosystem during the migration season, when dramatic river crossings may occur.
Follow the migration and encounter the lions, cheetahs, hyenas and other predators drawn to the herds.
A regional flight connects the two safari countries, giving you more time in the wilderness and less time on the road.
The itinerary is designed around the seasonal movement of the herds, with flexibility to adjust game drives according to wildlife conditions.
Signature East Africa moments included or available as an add-on throughout your trip.
Private guide meets you for the drive to Arusha.
Drive into the Serengeti with a game drive en route to your tented camp.
Game drives positioned according to the herds' current location within the Serengeti ecosystem.
Short flight crosses the border directly into the Maasai Mara ecosystem, avoiding a long road transfer.
Three full days positioned near the Mara River crossing points during peak migration months, or focused on resident game at other times of year.
One last game drive before flying to Nairobi.
A free day in Nairobi, or an optional city and Giraffe Centre tour.

Real feedback from guests who booked this exact itinerary.
Timed the Mara river crossings perfectly thanks to the team's advice — communication was fast and honest throughout.
The flight between countries saved us a full day of driving and our guide in the Serengeti spotted a leopard with cubs that made the whole trip.
Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.
No one can guarantee a specific crossing — the herds move on their own timeline — but positioning you in the right area during peak months (Jul–Oct) gives the best realistic chance.
The road route between the Serengeti and the Mara is long and involves border formalities; flying saves a full day that's better spent on game drives.
