Will I get a chance to see the Great Migration during the trip?

Yes, this Tanzania Safari Package is made just for the time of year when animals migrate. Daily wildlife drives take you to places where zebras and wildebeest assemble. If you’re lucky, you’ll see river crossings and predator-prey confrontations.
