Safari Overview

Experience one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth — the Great Wildebeest Migration River Crossing.

This 5-day fly-in safari from Arusha takes you directly to Northern Serengeti, where massive herds of wildebeest and zebras gather along the Mara River before making dramatic crossings filled with tension, predators, and powerful natural instinct.

By flying in, you maximize your time in the migration zone and avoid long driving hours — giving you more opportunities to witness river crossing action.
