6 days Serengeti and Masai Mara Migration Safari – Guided Group Tour
Great Wildebeest Migration Group Safaris | Masai Mara & Serengeti
The 6 day Serengeti and Masai Mara migration safari in a group is one of the best, cheapest ways to experience the African wildebeest migration. Rather than being a single event that happens on one particular date, the migration is a continuous seasonal movement of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles across Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve in search of fresh grazing and water. The Serengeti National Park is particularly important during the calving and southern phases of the migration, while the northern Serengeti and Masai Mara become famous for the dramatic Mara River crossings during the dry-season months.
However, the exact location of the herds changes from year to year because rainfall and grass conditions influence their movement. A river crossing can never be guaranteed, which is why choosing the right destination, travel dates and number of safari nights is more important than simply booking a trip during a particular month. Travelling as solo travellers to Africa or as part of a small group safari of 4-10 people? This Masai Mara and Serengeti Migration safari promises a spectacular view of Africa’s diverse wildlife and landscapes.
This Masai Mara and Serengeti Migration safari explains when to travel, where to find the herds, how the Kenya-Tanzania route works, what to expect during the Mara River crossings, how much a migration safari can cost and how to choose between the Serengeti and Masai Mara. We also provide a practical 6-day Masai Mara and Serengeti migration safari itinerary travelers who want to experience both destinations in one trip as a group.
