Tanzania safari for solo travellers with the Serengeti migration

Overview

Tanzania safari holiday for solo travellers with the Serengeti migration

Stay in small and intimate safari camps and lodges where your group could sometimes take over the entire camp making this an incredible exclusive safari experience despite being a safari to see one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth – the famous Serengeti wildebeest migration.

Where can you witness this year round? Tanzania. Combine this with incredible wildlife viewing in beautiful Tarangire national park, home to fabulous elephant herds but without the crowds of the more famous parks of Serengeti & Ngorongoro. Lake Manyara is home to a large soda lake full of flamingo and elephants that come right up to your car.

The highlight comes at the award-winning Bush Rover Migration Camp before heading to the largest lake in Africa – Victoria and some world-class bird viewing in a gorgeous camp from where you’ll indulge in local culture. Finish your holiday on a deserted white sand beach in Saadani national park. Perfect!
