Join Alvin African Safaris for an 8-day Great Migration safari from December to April. Explore Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, following wildebeest calving season and iconic wildlife across Tanzania’s top parks.
This 8-day safari adventure with Alvin African Safaris is designed for travelers eager to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration up close.
