A Luxury 8-Day Great Wildebeest Migration Photo Safari
A 8-Day Great Wildebeest Migration Photo Safari offers unparalleled opportunities to capture dramatic wildlife action, focusing on the massive herds moving through Tanzania’s Serengeti, especially river crossings with crocodiles, predator hunts (lions, leopards, cheetahs), and vast landscapes. These specialized trips use custom vehicles with fewer guests for unobstructed views, often include expert photography guidance, and strategically position travelers near key migration points for iconic shots of light, dust, and raw survival drama.
A Detailed 8-Day Great Wildebeest Migration Photo Safari
Day 1: Arrive in Arusha, Tanzania
After your flight from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KLM or Delta) takes you to Arusha, your guide will be waiting to greet you.
You will be well taken care of from the time you touch down in Tanzania because your guides are natives of the nation and have unparalleled knowledge of its ins and outs.
Day 2: Ngorongoro Highlands
For a farm-to-table meal, take a drive up the Great Rift Valley Escarpment to Gibb’s Farm.
After that, go for a stroll around the grounds and see the view from the hilltop as you take in the scenery of the verdant gardens. Visit a boma to learn about the Maasai people and their semi-nomadic lifestyle before setting up camp on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater, created when a volcano fell, is barely 10 miles wide.
Now home to more predators than any other ecosystem in Africa, it can sustain itself. If you camp out on the rim of the Crater, you can beat the crowds to the floor of the animal-rich crater first thing in the morning.
Day 4–5: Serengeti National Park
Get yourself to the world-famous Serengeti, where granite kopjes and acacia trees stand out among the vast expanse of swaying grass.
Spectacular wildlife, including large cats, may be spotted in the Serengeti on a daily basis.
Day 6–7: Serengeti National Park
Keep on photographing the northern Serengeti plains throughout your safari route.
As you cross the Mara River into Tanzania, your knowledgeable guide will keep an eye out for the distinctive wildlife and plants of the Serengeti, such as the world-famous zebra and wildebeest herds.
Day 8: Depart Tanzania
Your last meal together will be at the Arusha Coffee Lodge in Arusha, so make your way there. The Arusha Hotel has a day room where you may unwind before your trip back home.
