Depending on the time of year, you may have the opportunity to witness part of the Great Migration, one of the most remarkable wildlife movements on the planet. Millions of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, travel across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing, creating dramatic scenes across the plains.

Predators often follow the herds, adding another layer of activity to the experience. Guided game drives place you in the best possible position to observe this seasonal event while learning about the migration routes, animal behaviour and challenges faced along the journey. No two migration sightings are ever exactly the same.

Explore the Serengeti on foot with an experienced guide and discover details that are often overlooked during game drives. As you walk across the plains, you’ll learn how to identify animal tracks, recognise signs of recent wildlife activity and understand how different species interact with their environment. Your guide may point out birds, insects, plants and smaller animals that play an important role in the ecosystem.

Depending on the route, you’ll also observe larger wildlife from a safe distance. Walking allows you to experience the landscape at a different pace while gaining insight into the many elements that make the Serengeti one of Africa’s most remarkable wilderness areas.

Head out on safari and explore one of the world’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Accompanied by experienced guides, you’ll travel across the Serengeti in search of lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and countless other species that roam these plains. Depending on the season, you’ll also witness parts of the Great Migration as vast herds move across the ecosystem.

Every drive is different, with wildlife activity changing throughout the day and across the landscape. Along the way, your guide will share insights into animal behaviour, tracking techniques and the ecology of the Serengeti, adding context to every sighting you encounter.
