14 Day Great Migration Safari | Kenya & Tanzania

Experience the Great Migration across Kenya and Tanzania on a fourteen-day fly-in safari through Tsavo, the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro. Timed around the seasonal movement of wildebeest and zebra through the Mara–Serengeti ecosystem, this journey combines migration-focused game viewing with some of East Africa’s most distinctive wildlife landscapes.

Begin in Tsavo, exploring its expansive wilderness before flying to the Maasai Mara for game viewing during the Great Migration season. Continue by air into Tanzania’s Serengeti, following the migration across the wider ecosystem, before traveling through Lake Manyara on a game drive en route to Ngorongoro, where the journey concludes with time around the remarkable crater landscape.

Scheduled flights and coordinated transfers reduce long stretches on the road and allow more of the fourteen days to be spent within the safari regions themselves. Carefully selected accommodations complement the journey, while the combination of Kenya and Tanzania provides a broader perspective on the landscapes and wildlife of East Africa.

Why We Designed It This Way

Choose this journey if experiencing the Great Migration across both Kenya and Tanzania is a central reason for your safari.

The Maasai Mara and Serengeti form part of the same wider ecosystem, and combining them allows the journey to follow the seasonal movement of wildebeest and zebra across two of East Africa’s most important wildlife regions. Tsavo adds a contrasting wilderness experience, while Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro introduce another change in landscape as the safari moves through northern Tanzania.

With fourteen days available, there is time to experience this variety without relying on long overland journeys between every destination. Scheduled flights have been incorporated where they make the greatest difference, keeping the emphasis on time in the wilderness and game viewing rather than time spent in transit.
