8 DAYS GREAT MIGRATION - GNU WONDERS (WILDEBEEST)

OVERVIEW

This 8-day safari highlights the drama and beauty of the Great Wildebeest Migration, focusing on the calving grounds in the Ndutu plains of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Your journey also includes Tarangire National Park, home to massive elephant herds and ancient baobabs, the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, and the scenic Lake Manyara National Park. This safari offers a perfect balance of breathtaking wildlife encounters, diverse ecosystems, and comfortable stays.
