On our family safari, you will 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.

During the months of June to November, when we have the seasonal migration of wildebeest and zebras, the park bursts into life with possibly the biggest concentration of wildlife outside Serengeti National Park and the largest population of elephants per square kilometre in the world. Other sightings will include lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, and buffaloes and if you are lucky, the rare wild dogs are found here. In the late afternoon, stop for your bush sundowner drinks, which will be made by your guide.
