About this tour

Step into the heart of one of the world’s greatest wildlife spectacles with this immersive 3-night Great Migration safari in the Serengeti. Staying deep within the migration corridor at Enkutoto Migration Camp, you are perfectly positioned to follow the ever-moving herds as they thunder across the plains in search of fresh grazing.

Each day is shaped around the rhythm of the migration, with expertly guided game drives revealing vast concentrations of wildebeest and zebra, dramatic predator encounters, and the raw, unscripted moments that define life on the African savannah. From golden-hour sightings to the tension of river crossings and stalking big cats, every drive offers the potential for extraordinary encounters.

Between game drives, enjoy the comfort and intimacy of a well-located tented camp, where thoughtful hospitality meets authentic wilderness living. Evenings are spent under star-filled skies, sharing stories of the day’s sightings as the sounds of the Serengeti echo around you.

Itinerary

Touch down in the Serengeti and feel the immediate sense of scale and wildness that defines this iconic landscape. You are met and transferred to Enkutoto Migration Camp, a refined yet intimate camp positioned to place you right alongside the path of the Great Migration. After a warm welcome and time to settle into your thoughtfully appointed tent, the experience begins in earnest.

Head out on your first afternoon game drive, when wildlife is most active and the light is at its most flattering. This is your introduction to the Serengeti’s defining spectacle: vast herds of wildebeest and zebra moving steadily across the open plains, guided by ancient instincts. Beyond the migration, keep watch for predators such as lions and cheetahs that follow the herds, as well as giraffe, elephant, and an abundance of plains game.

As evening approaches, pause for sundowners in the bush, watching the sky shift through shades of gold and amber as the sun sinks into the horizon. The stillness of the plains, broken only by distant calls and the movement of animals, creates a powerful first impression of life in the Serengeti.

Return to camp at dusk for a beautifully prepared dinner under the stars, where the day’s sightings are shared by lantern light. As night falls, the sounds of the African wilderness surround you—an authentic and unforgettable welcome to the rhythm of safari life

Begin the day before sunrise, when the Serengeti is at its most atmospheric. As first light spills across the plains, set out on a morning game drive timed to track the movement of the migrating herds. This is prime viewing time: wildebeest and zebra stretch across the horizon, while lions, cheetahs, and hyenas shadow their progress. Your guide interprets the subtle signs of the bush—alarm calls, shifting winds, and predator behavior—bringing deeper understanding to the raw scenes unfolding around you.

By late morning, pause for a bush picnic lunch, an experience that captures the essence of safari life. Dining in the open savannah, with uninterrupted views and wildlife never far away, offers a powerful sense of connection to the landscape and its rhythms.

In the afternoon, venture toward key migration corridors and river systems, where anticipation builds around potential crossings. These areas are among the most dynamic in the Serengeti, often drawing dense concentrations of animals and their predators. Whether witnessing a crossing or watching herds gather and test the waters, the experience is charged with tension and spectacle, shaped by nature alone.

As the light softens and the day draws to a close, return to camp for a well-earned rest. The evening is spent sharing stories and photographs over dinner by the campfire, the glow of the flames and the surrounding darkness offering a fitting end to a day immersed in one of Africa’s greatest natural events.

Set out once more in the early hours, when the Serengeti is hushed and luminous under the soft glow of dawn. This morning’s game drive explores alternative migration corridors and wildlife-dense regions, maximizing your chances of witnessing intimate moments between predator and prey. With fewer vehicles and changing light, this is an ideal time for photography and for appreciating the finer details of the ecosystem—from hunting strategies to the behavior of the herds as they move with purpose across the plains.

By late morning, return to camp for a relaxed brunch, followed by time at leisure. This pause allows you to absorb the stillness of the bush, whether from the comfort of your tent or a shaded communal area, listening to birdsong and distant wildlife calls that define life in the Serengeti.

In the afternoon, an optional game drive provides a final opportunity to venture back out into the wilderness. It’s a chance to revisit favorite areas, seek out remaining highlights of the migration, and fully appreciate the scale and beauty of the landscape before your safari draws to a close.

As evening settles in, return to camp for your final night in the Serengeti, savoring a thoughtfully prepared dinner and the deep sense of connection that comes from days spent immersed in one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural environments.

After breakfast, a short morning game drive allows for one last glimpse of the migrating herds. You then transfer to the airstrip for your onward journey, carrying unforgettable memories of one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events.
