6 Days Maasai Mara & Serengeti Migration Safari – Witness the Mara River Crossing (July–September)
Overview
This once-in-a-lifetime 6-day safari adventure takes you deep into two of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations—Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park—during the peak of the Great Migration. From July to September, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles brave the crocodile-infested waters of the Mara River in a dramatic display of survival.
You'll begin your journey in the legendary Maasai Mara, where vast plains teem with big cats and migrating herds. Then cross into the northern Serengeti, strategically located near the Mara River, offering front-row seats to one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles: the river crossing.
Expect thrilling game drives, expert local guides, stunning landscapes, and comfortable mid-range or luxury lodges that bring you closer to nature without compromising comfort. This is the ultimate safari for wildlife lovers, photographers, and adventurers seeking the raw beauty of Africa's wild heart.
