Great Migration Circuit

Follow the Great Migration across the Serengeti with our mobile camp, then explore the Ngorongoro Crater.

Overview

Designed specifically for the Great Wildebeest Migration, this circuit positions you at Enkutoto Migration Camp — our mobile camp that follows the herds across the Serengeti. Combined with a stay at Olkarien in the central Serengeti and Naserian on the Ngorongoro rim, this is the ultimate migration-focused itinerary.

Best during calving season (January-March) or river crossings (July-October), when the herds are concentrated in specific areas.

  • Witness river crossings or calving season
  • Central Serengeti game drives at Olkarien
  • Ngorongoro Crater floor tour
  • Three Acacia properties in one circuit
