7-Day Great Migration Safari in Tanzania
This 7-day Tanzania safari follows a defined route through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The sequence of parks and areas gives the itinerary its character, while the day-by-day plan sets the pace for drives, stops and overnight stays.
The wildlife section is timed around the named migration area in the itinerary. Game drives are arranged to follow the route and current wildlife movement rather than treating every day as the same drive.
The itinerary is arranged as a private departure, allowing the guide to manage driving time and stops around the agreed route. The published schedule should be checked against the requested travel dates before confirmation.
Overnight stays use selected lodge or tented-camp accommodation, with the exact properties confirmed in the accommodation section. Group size, meal arrangements and included services should be reviewed together because they affect the practical cost of the route. Listed inclusions include All Park entrances & taxes, All Meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner),, soft drinks & water (bottled water 3 litres or more a day).
