Off The Beaten Adventure Safari

Overview

This Off the beaten adventure safari will combine cultural tours, short walking around Masai Land of Northern Tanzania, Visiting Lake Natron which is One of the Breeding sites of Lesser Flamingos in East Africa, Game drive along Mara River in the Northern Serengeti seeing the residents Crocodiles and if lucky enough some residents Black Rhinos, Visiting Lake Victoria which is the second fresh water lake in the World and off course we will be in search of the thundering herds of the legendary Serengeti wildebeest migration. This great migration safari highlights one of the top wildlife areas in Tanzania! The Great Wildebeest Migration – the yearly migration of enormous herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly remarkable event. Over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara bio networks in search of green pasture, in a regular pattern. This is surely one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.  The value we bring to the program is that you are guided by a member of a superb team of knowledgeable and fun-filled naturalist guides who knows the area best, the best time for wildebeest migration and has been in the guiding industry for 10+ years.
