This is our most budget-friendly Wildebeest Migration safari package in Tanzania. Witnessing the wildebeests in Masai Mara or Serengeti is a dream for many, but nothing compares to the spectacular sight of the wildebeest river crossing at Mara River in Serengeti National Park. With 3 days spent in Serengeti, alongside visits to Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park, there’s a good chance you’ll experience the iconic Mara River crossing of the Great Migration, all without breaking the bank.
Life on Safari
After breakfast at your hotel in Arusha and a short safari briefing, you will drive to the iconic Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive.
Tarangire is a peaceful and less-crowded gem in northern Tanzania, best known for its large elephant migration, rich birdlife, and authentic wilderness atmosphere. The park is dominated by vast savannahs, ancient baobab trees, and the life-giving Tarangire River.
During your game drive, you may encounter elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and many bird species. Lunch will be served picnic-style inside the park, followed by continued wildlife viewing into the evening.
After the game drive, you will proceed to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

"Our guide Emmanuel was incredible — he spotted a leopard and two lion cubs that three other vehicles completely missed. The most magical experience of our lives."
"The private setup meant we could spend 45 minutes with a cheetah and cubs without feeling rushed. The lodges were far beyond what we expected."
"As first-time safari travelers, we were nervous. From the moment we arrived, Serengeti African Tours took care of everything. The Ngorongoro Crater literally took our breath away."
"Booked through SafariBookings and couldn't be happier. Every detail was handled perfectly. Guide Abouh is extraordinary — his knowledge of wildlife is encyclopaedic."
