We've just added four new Tanzania safari packages to our collection of African Budget Safaris. In addition to offering great value for money, these Tanzania safari tours to the Serengeti National Park are ideal for tracking Africa's Great Migration.
These affordable Tanzania safaris stay at tented camps in the southern, central, and northern Serengeti, providing excellent access to the Great Migration. They're designed to catch the migration of thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope at various stages - from calving on the Ndutu Plains and stampeding herds on the Seronera plains to the spectacle of the Mara River crossing.
The following tours are sample itineraries. Where in the Serengeti you go to see the wildebeest migration will depend on the time of year. The routes followed on these tours are based on our most successful Tanzania safaris, but are not fixed.
When planning your Tanzania safari, please speak with one of our experienced safari consultants, who can tailor the itinerary to your needs and desired sights.
