Overview
Explore three pristine wildlife areas in Tanzania with a chance to witness the Great Migration. While the sight of hundred thousands of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains is spectacular, the Mara River crossing is absolutely one of the most breathtaking natural events in wildlife sightings. Dust exploding, lions stalking a moveable feast, gigantic crocodiles and fast-flowing wild rivers await. It is sensational, impressive and dramatic at the same time. This is one of the obstacles of the Great Migration.

Each morning and afternoon, you can choose from the safari activities on offer. Game drives are a good way of exploring further afield and seeing the larger wildlife and predators. The Selous is home to a superb variety of wildlife, including good populations of lion and leopard, and Africa’s largest population of wild dog. Walking safaris are a real treat and offer a slower pace to learn about the flora and fauna of the Selous. Boat safaris on the lake are particularly lovely in the afternoon, combined with a spot of sundowners.
