The Great Migration: 14-Day Accessible Safari

14 days · By air · Nairobi, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Kilimanjaro

Follow the herds across a border

Four nights in the Masai Mara, then a short flight south to the northern Serengeti, where the herds gather at the Mara River from July to October. Two countries, one migration, and no long drives between them.

The signature moment: Watching a Mara River crossing: the herd hesitating on the bank, then the first leap.
