Tanzania - The Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti - Group Tour with Guide in Italian

Tanzania – The Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti

Group Tour with Italian Guide (July → October)

Between July and October the Great Migration goes up to the North Serengeti (Kogatende / Mara River / Mara Triangle): Huge herds of wildebeest and zebra, predators in action and – with a bit of luck – the famous Mara River crossings. Small group with guide in Italian, selected lodges/camps, 4×4 with sunroof and full board during safari.

.

Note Migration: movements are natural and depend on rainfall/grazing; placing at Kogatende during this period maximises the chances of seeing crossings, without being able to guarantee them.
