The Tanzania Migration Safaris lead the wildebeest on their journey northward, guiding them through the park and towards the Kenyan border. This remarkable migration occurs from late July through August and into September. During this time, the migration faces one of its most awe-inspiring and perilous challenges.
In the Serengeti, the wildebeest confront the obstacles posed by the Mbalangeti and Grumeti rivers, while in Kenya, they face the notorious Mara River. For much of the year, these waterways have a calm demeanor, often dwindling to mere trickles. However, when the rains arrive, they transform into turbulent torrents, creating formidable barriers that hinder the wildebeest’s progress.
Every Mikumi Holiday Safaris trip is tailored to your personal preferences and interests. Below you’ll find a sample itinerary to inspire your own custom-designed journey.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will meet your Tanzania guide. He will take you to your hotel, and the rest of the day is at your leisure. You can relax and enjoy the African atmosphere. You are a personal and experienced guide who not only knows a lot about the Tanzanian culture but can also tell you a lot about the beautiful national parks and sights of the country. So do not be afraid to ask him questions; he will be happy to answer them all.
The first national park you visit is one of the smaller but most scenic ones. You can see elephants and huge troops of baboons in the forest, and if you are lucky, even tree-climbing lions. A variety of wildlife can be found around the huge soda lake, like buffalos, warthogs, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, and flamingos. The shallow Hippo Pool offers excellent opportunities for hippo sightings, and you will have a spectacular view of the Rift Valley Escarpment.
