Arusha and Ngorongoro Tour Overview

This tour offers the chance to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, a thrilling and dramatic spectacle as the animals swim across the river while being pursued by crocodiles. The migration tour also includes the opportunity to see the predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas that follow the herds, and the large numbers of birds that are attracted to the migration.

During this period, the herds are spread out across the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Mara River area. This is a great time for visitors to see the herds from a distance and to explore the vastness of the Serengeti. The tour can be done by vehicle, or hot air balloon.
