The Great Wildlife Migrations of Western Serengeti and Tarangire



In just a week our Western Serengeti Migration Safari takes in the very best of northern Tanzania’s contrasting game-viewing areas and National Parks. Travelling in your own private safari vehicle with a knowledgeable driver/wildlife guide, you’ll have the chance to see the twin volcanic peaks of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro from Arusha National Park before heading south to Lake Manyara and the dramatic escarpments of the Great Rift Valley.

The focal-point of this safari though is the magnificent Serengeti National Park. Here you’ll stay for three nights enjoying several game drives with the chance of encountering the great migration of wildebeests and zebras as they make their way north through the Western Corridor and across Grumeti. Next you’ll witness the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater before spending your final night at Tarangire with its giant baobabs and elephant herds. From August to October you'll also see an abundance of migratory game in Tarangire.

During this Western Serengeti Migration Safari holiday your accommodation is comfortable good-value tented camps including Migunga Forest Camp, Ikoma Bush Camp and Crater Forest Camp - all well located for optimum game viewing in the National Parks. You’ll see plenty of wildlife on this action-packed safari and travel time between the major game viewing areas is relatively short, with plenty of awe-inspiring scenery, colourful Maasai people and wildlife seen en route.

Responsible Tour Operating in Tanzania

 Specialist Tanzania works in close partnership with several locally owned and managed companies in Tanzania. We feel this approach has a more direct benefit on the local distribution of income from tourism. We support and fully endorse the recruitment and training of local guides, local group tour managers, drivers and representation staff. With our guiding principle of employing local people wherever possible our guests see a direct benefit in the improved local knowledge of our local team, whether that be knowledge of flora, fauna, history or just general Tanzanian life. Through this approach we can also maximise the amount of your tourism revenue that is delivered directly into the heart of the local economy.

 Specialist Tanzania is also determined to do what we can to help minimise any negative impacts on the environmental, wildlife and cultural welfare of Tanzania through promoting responsible visitor behaviour; promoting waste reduction; facilitating cultural exchange between guests and local communities; supporting local businesses, goods and services; encouraging guests to eat local foods rather than imported foods; encouraging the conservation of natural resources like electricity and water; and promoting the importance of protecting the local environment and nature.
