Serengeti Great Migration Mid Range Lodge Safari Packages from Arusha
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most remarkable wildlife phenomena in Tanzania.
Large herds of wildebeest and zebras move seasonally through the Serengeti ecosystem following rainfall and grazing conditions.
Travelers can request mid range safari packages from Arusha focusing on different migration areas according to the season.
Southern Serengeti and Ndutu
The southern Serengeti and Ndutu ecosystem are associated with the wildebeest calving period, generally around January to March.
Actual herd movements depend on rainfall and natural conditions.
Western Serengeti
Seasonal migration movements may pass through the western Serengeti corridor during parts of the year.
Northern Serengeti
Northern Serengeti is famous for migration movements near the Mara River.
River crossings are unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed on any specific safari date.
Central Serengeti
Central Serengeti provides wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the year and is commonly included in mid range safari packages.
Migration safari planning
Choosing an appropriate Serengeti region and allowing additional game drive days may provide more flexibility. However, no operator can guarantee specific herd locations, animal sightings or river crossings.
