Migration Walking Safari

This September, hike with the annual wildebeest migration across the Serengeti!

Are you ready for the most intimate experience the Serengeti can throw at you? Join this 8-day walking safari and hike with the wildebeest as they turn and head North into the Masaai Mara.

This hike starts in the central Serengeti and follows the path of the migrating herds into the Northern Serengeti. We walk approximately 15 – 20km’s per day carrying only a day pack. Our routes are away from tracks and vehicles; we access areas off limit to vehicles and ‘normal’ visitors.

A comfortable mobile camp will move ahead of us and a small camp crew will be setting up the camp, preparing meals and ensure that all creature comforts are met.

This hike will be guided by Jean Du Plessis, a pioneer in developing active and unique safari options in Tanzania for the past 20-years.
