Tanzania is famous for its annual wildebeest migration. From Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve into the Serengeti National Park. Here both animal population and variety flourish. Plan your adventure safari tour in the months of July to November to see the migration in the North of the reserve and between December and March for the Southern area of the Serengeti.

Choose either a short safari or a longer overland trip for your Tanzania experience. Explore one of Africa’s greatest regions while in Tanzania. Highlights include the Ngorongoro Crater which is a dormant volcano, home to Africa’s Big Five.
