A safari timed and positioned to follow the Great Migration's river crossings, rather than a fixed-location itinerary that hopes the herds happen to be nearby.
6-Day Great Migration River Crossing Safari is a carefully designed Tanzania safari experience for travelers who want wildlife, scenery, comfort and local guidance. The itinerary can be customized according to your travel dates, accommodation style, budget and special interests.
A safari timed and positioned to follow the Great Migration's river crossings, rather than a fixed-location itinerary that hopes the herds happen to be nearby.
The migration's exact location shifts year to year based on rainfall, so this itinerary keeps flexibility built in - your guide adjusts the day-to-day route based on current herd positions and river crossing activity, rather than following a rigid pre-set plan. This gives meaningfully better odds of witnessing an actual crossing compared to a standard fixed-camp safari.
