The definitive Tanzanian journey: three nights in the Serengeti positioned for the season's migration action, a day inside the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire's elephant country. Your camp location moves with the herds — calving plains in the green season, river crossings in the dry.

A private guide and vehicle throughout, mid-range or luxury tented camps.

Safari expert's note
