Tour Overview
This safari draws on years of experience to help you enjoy the ultimate Tanzania safari, witnessing the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River. Our team made this trip for people with a very limited budget but are in love with nature and want to witness this remarkable natural spectacle This tour is very flexible and is targeted to witness the wildebeest migration, which is determined by the weather and time of year. Available from June to early December, the ultimate time to travel on this safari is July to October. We can organise a cheaper option by changing the two nights in the Serengeti from tented camps to budget camping style.

Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of Serengeti National Park then at sunset, you head to Into Wild Tented Camp for dinner and overnight. After dinner you will gather around the campfire before relaxing in your comfortable surroundings, lulled to sleep by the sounds of the Serengeti Plains.

After breakfast you will embark on another full-day game drive in the Serengeti National Park. You will try to follow migration groups around the Mara River area. Some of the wildebeest groups don’t cross the river and you might catch them around the river. This will depend much on the unpredictable weather. For two nights you stay at a mobile bush camp in the Mara River area, which moves seasonally in time with the movement of the migration.
Dinner and overnight: Tanzania Bush Camps Mara River
After breakfast you will enjoy a wildebeest migration game drive in the north Serengeti park area. This includes the crossing of the wildebeest at the Mara River.
