Important Notes
This is a wildlife safari in natural national parks, so animal sightings depend on nature and season. The Great Wildebeest Migration moves across Serengeti National Park, so locations of the herds may change depending on the time of travel.
Mara River crossings in Northern Serengeti are seasonal and cannot be guaranteed, but your guide will take you to the best possible areas for wildlife viewing.
The itinerary may change slightly due to weather conditions, animal movement, or park regulations, always to ensure the best safari experience.
Early booking is strongly recommended, especially during the high season of the Great Migration.
Packing Notes
For this 7 Days Serengeti Migration Safari, we recommend light and comfortable safari clothing in neutral colors such as khaki, beige, or green to blend with nature.
Bring a warm jacket or sweater for early mornings and evenings, as temperatures can be cool in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro highlands.
Comfortable walking shoes are important for safari activities. Do not forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat or cap for sun protection during game drives.
A good camera or smartphone with extra storage is highly recommended for wildlife photography. Binoculars are also very useful for seeing animals at a distance.
It is also good to bring a small daypack for personal items used during game drives, such as water, camera, and sunscreen.
