Adventure safari
This safari was created for the months when the migration is in northern Serengeti. It combines a good blend of migration following and game driving with some strenuous hikes. These hikes are also not on the main stream tours, so you’ll get to experience a little slice of Tanzania that most people don’t even know exists!
