8 Days Serengeti Migration

About this tour

The Serengeti migration is a famous event in Tanzania where millions of animals, like wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, travel together in search of fresh grass and water. They move in a big circle every year through the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya. This journey is very long and dangerous because the animals have to cross rivers filled with hungry crocodiles and face lions and other predators along the way. Migration is one of the most amazing natural events in the world, and many people visit Africa to see it.

    Underbara upplevelser😘😘.Vi bokade en resa till Ngorongoro och Tarangire de sista minuterna med Blessing Safaris men vad de erbjuder det var så fantastiskt att jag inte ens förväntade mig och vi undrade vad de kunde erbjuda om vi kunde boka i tid😳. De bokade ett mycket elegant hotell, lunchen i parken var så läcker att vi verkligen njöt av det. Elibariki bryr sig verkligen om oss 💐. Det var en otrolig och oförglömlig upplevelse för oss, speciellt för vårt barn. Vår guide (Mr Zoya) var så fantastisk, och jag tror att vi var så lyckliga att ha honom på vår resa. Nästa gång vi förväntar oss att besöka Serengeti och hoppfulla bland alla andra företag kommer vi fortfarande att välja Blessing Safaris. Jag rekommenderar verkligen detta företag för dig som vill besöka Tanzania och Zanzibar. Thank you so much Mr Elibarik, Zoya and your amazing team💐.

    The trip was very amazing and our guide was very good as well. The safari operator gave us confidence while we were planning our trip and they responded quickly to our inquiry. We are so great to see many wild animals, especially the big five in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We had the chance to see the lions hunting two times. The lodges and camps are very good, the food and all staff are so professional and welcoming. I recommend this Blessing Safaris for anyone visiting Tanzania for safari. Cheers!
