12 Days Great Migration Safari in Tanzania
12 Days Great Migration Safari in Tanzania
Tanzania's wildlife draws safari aficionados from around the world to see nature’s most humbling expression of tenacity – the Great Migration! The Serengeti offers the unique opportunity to watch staggering numbers of wildebeest and zebra continuously search for verdant grazing land, which takes them across the large expanse of the Serengeti Plains, and through multiple rivers as they cross back and forth between Tanzania and Kenya. Designed for travelers who strive to glean a deeper understanding and connection with Tanzania, this itinerary takes you to the lesser-known Tarangire National Park as well as into traditional Maasai villages, the famous Ngorongoro Crater, and of course, the iconic Serengeti National Park!
Highlights
- Explore the Ngorongoro Crater, home to over 25,000 animals.
- Get up close to herds of elephants trumpeting in Tarangire.
- Enjoy meals under the vibrant Milky Way in the Serengeti.
- Follow in the footsteps of thousands of animals in the Great Migration.
- Track one of the world’s most spectacular displays of nature, the Great Migration in the Serengeti.

Our Travelers Say
We travelled with Falcon Safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana for 16 days. Falcon designed a wonderful trip with private guide to the most interesting sites in both countries. The organization of the whole trip was excellent, flights within the country, accommodation and activites. The guides were very knowledgable and told us a lot about the countries, their history, people, economy and much more. We visited the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Victoria Falls Tour and a number of national parks in both countries.
Rhino tracking was a real adventure! We had tremendous further game drives and saw very many animals - we did the Big Five. We had much more Victoria Falls Activities than planned and enjoyed very much.We strongly recommend Falcon Safaris to everyone planning a trip to Southern Africa and East Africa.
Wonderful trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana with excellent organization and very competent guides
Our Consultant Vimbai was very helpful and accommodating. We stayed at the Elephant hills hotel which was nothing short of amazing.Our activities included a helicopter flight, dinner cruise as well as a morning game drive. All the activities were absolutely amazing.
Exceptional!
We worked with Gertrude to schedule and organize everything and she did an excellent job. I asked a lot of questions via e-mail and she answered everyone in a timely helpful manner. Our guide at Victoria Falls was also great. He met us at the airport, provided a thoughtful tour of the Falls and got us to our next guide in Botswana. Our lodgings at River View Lodge were just as described- very comfortable and excellent food. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful. If I had to do it again I would arrange a morning boat ride as well. We only did the sunset boat rides and they were the high point of our entire trip- we saw so many animals and our guide was very knowledgeable. Just a great experience. Our lodgings at Oddball's Enclave was rustic and we loved it. So great to disconnect from the world for a bit. Leo, our guide, was the best - got us out and about, saw fantastic wildlife and got back to camp safely each time. Doc manages the camp so well. This whole trip was planned and organized by Falcon Safaris and we could not have been happier.
Fabulous, well planned trip
Falcon safaris have given my the correct advice with excellent service. The only suggestion will be to work closer with the lodges to confirm bookings as soon as possible. We have booked and pay our deposit a year in advance. We have only receive our final convermation from Chobe Safari lodge a week before departure. I do realize its not within your controle but with limit alternatives and a group of 14 people it becomes an issue to find alternative accomodation if the booking was cancelled.
Excellent and efficient service
