Tanzania Serengeti Migration Safari – 10 Days is for nature photographers, no wildlife event on earth rivals Africa’s Great Migration for sheer drama. Twice each year, the massive herds make a great circuit across the Serengeti Plain, following the grass that sprouts with the seasonal rains. To capture amazing images of this phenomenon is on many a wildlife photographer’s bucket list. But it’s crucial to choose the right way to experience the migration—here’s why our Tanzania migration safari is better.

Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1: An Itinerary Designed for Optimal Migration Viewing.

Many companies operate the same “migration” tour year-round, driving the entire northern circuit of Tanzania with no effort to jibe locations with the arrival of the herds. We focus on the best time to see the animals, then build our itinerary and dates around that. Specifically, we spend four days during peak migration season in the southern Serengeti, where more than a million wildebeest drop their young on the plains every year, attracting predators and providing a remarkable nature experience.

Day 2: Secluded Location Allows for Exclusive Activities

While most groups visit only the most central and busiest parts of Serengeti National Park, we stay in a newly opened area of the park in the east-central Serengeti region known as the Namiri Plains where travelers are few, though feline predators are abundant! Here, we do traditional wildlife drives, but we can also go on guided walking safaris and glean information from local researchers studying the cats in this area.

Day 3: Fly to and from the Bush

Our Safari Expedition Leaders meet you in Arusha, then we fly to the Serengeti, meeting our vehicles and trackers in the bush. And we return by air, too, avoiding long, dusty drives over often-rough roads. Many companies drive you to and from the Serengeti, a trip that can take 6-8 hours one way. By flying, we maximize time for what you’ve come to Africa for: watching wildlife on safari!

Day 4: A Window Seat for Each Traveler

With only three to four guests per safari vehicle, you have plenty of room to maneuver for shots and comfortably carry all your gear—plus a guaranteed window seat, of course! Many safari operators use crowded mini-buses, and even luxury operators often utilize every seat, including middles—but we know how important unimpeded views are when you’ve come all this way to see and photograph the migration.

Day 5: Remote Private Camps for Wildlife Proximity

Rather than using crowded lodges where vehicles depart each morning in large numbers, often surrounding the same wildlife all at once, we insist on the smallest luxury bush camps located in remote spots where wildlife is prolific. Natural Habitat’s Migration Base Camp and Naimiri Plains Camp allow us the flexibility to pursue wildlife where concentrations are greatest, rather than utilizing larger accommodations that are nowhere near the migration.

Day 6: Small Groups for Intimate Wildlife Encounters

A small group is essential for optimal wildlife viewing, and Natural Habitat is known for the smallest groups in the industry. We take a maximum of approximately 9 guests—slightly more than on some of our other safaris—so that we may divide into multiple vehicles within radio contact to track the migration. Small groups mean we get closer to the herds, get better photos, and enjoy more personalized interaction with our Expedition Leader and local trackers and guides.

Day 7: Carry More Luggage—Take All Your Photo Equipment

Most airlines and safari companies in East Africa strictly limit luggage to 33 pounds per guest, including carry-on bags, with even the highest priced trips having this limitation. On this photo tour we have reserved extra seating for a special luggage allowance of 60 pounds per guest, making it easier to carry camera equipment and travel more comfortably without leaving behind the essential items you need.

Day 8: The World’s Finest Photo Expedition Guides

This is worldwide for employing the finest naturalists on the planet, and on our photography safaris, they are also accomplished photographers adept at helping guests capture the best possible images
