Overview
The Great Migration Safari is designed for wildlife enthusiasts who want to witness one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth. This 7-day itinerary is strategically timed and positioned to place you at the heart of the migration, whether that means the dramatic Mara River crossings, the vast herds on the open plains, or the calving season when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth.
Our expert guides track the migration's movement through an extensive network of local contacts and real-time intelligence, ensuring you are always in the best possible location. The safari covers multiple areas of the Serengeti, from the southern plains to the Western Corridor and the northern Mara region, following the herds as they move.
This is a deeper, more immersive Serengeti experience that goes beyond the standard safari. Multiple full days in the park, strategic camp placements, and flexible game drive schedules allow you to fully absorb the scale and drama of this ancient cycle of life.

What to Expect
Traveler Stories
My Tanzania safari was a deeply moving experience that changed my perspective on the natural world. Seeing elephants caring for their young, watching a lioness teach her cubs to hunt, and standing in the vast silence of the Serengeti at dawn gave me a profound sense of connection to something bigger than myself. Wild Call Tanzania created an experience that went far beyond simple tourism. The guides are not just knowledgeable, they are passionate conservationists who genuinely care about the wildlife and communities they work with. The quality of the entire operation, from the well-maintained vehicles to the carefully chosen camps and the excellent food, reflects a company that takes immense pride in what they do. I will return.

We traveled to Tanzania specifically to see the Great Migration, and Wild Call Tanzania delivered an experience that words cannot adequately describe. We witnessed three river crossings in two days, each one more dramatic than the last. The sheer scale of the migration — millions of wildebeest stretching to the horizon — is something that photographs simply cannot capture. Our guide Baraka was extraordinary, positioning us perfectly at each crossing point and explaining the science and ecology behind this ancient phenomenon. The mobile camps were surprisingly comfortable and the food was delicious. If the Great Migration is on your bucket list, book with Wild Call without hesitation.
