Description of Kenya and Tanzania great migration safari
The Great Migration is, without doubt, the most exciting wildlife spectacle on the planet. With millions of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes making the journey from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the fertile grasslands of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, and crowds of predators lying in wait, the scene is set for some incredible drama.
And you’ll enjoy this unforgettable Kenya and Tanzania Great Migration safari from a position of comfort throughout. Travelling in spacious, well-maintained minivans and 4x4 land cruisers, you’ll stay in a succession of small, luxurious lodges and tented camps offering personalised services. The trip is ideal not only for couples or groups of friends, but also families. Dinner and cocktails around the campfire is a wonderful way to get to know your fellow guests, and share stories of sightings.
Your Great Migration safari gets underway in Nairobi, as you venture into the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Besides watching as crowds of herd animals make their way, you can observe lions, elephants, Nile crocodiles and hundreds of bird species here. For the best views of all though, opt for a sunrise hot air balloon flight about the reserve to enjoy a bird’s eye view (also available in the Serengeti) – and follow it with a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Continuing into the Serengeti National Park, where many more stunning wildlife encounters await you, you’ll also have a chance to visit Ol Duvai Gorge, considered the ‘Cradle of Humankind’. From here it’s a short distance to one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife-watching destinations. The vast Ngorongoro Crater makes an epic, volcanic backdrop as a thrilling cast of predators and prey takes centre stage.
A Great Migration Safari in Tanzania and Kenya is also an opportunity to explore Maasai culture, your local guides acting as a bridge to communities happy to share their traditions and ways of life with respectful visitors.
And, as the climate crisis brings drought, flooding, and extreme, unpredictable weather to much of Africa, and wildebeest numbers drop, this trip is also a chance to reflect on how the migration may look in future. Responsible safari operators are already trying to make their holidays as environmentally friendly as possible. There could be more twists yet to come in this eventful drama.

Environmental sustainability means protecting the most natural resources. It is important for visitors to have a brief knowledge of an environment they will visit, do as much of research of a lace before traveling, get to know of the type of vegetation that is around, peoples' cultures, the weather and any other thing that may be worth knowing about. Clients are briefed before proceeding with their safari on what to expect, dos and don’ts while at the safari. Which include; ensuring they do not litter the parks or their way to and from the parks as they are provided with trash bins, they should also not feed the animals at the parks or make noise while at safari.All our tour vehicles have trash cans for proper disposal of waste to avoid disposal of non-degradable that may harm the wildlife. We discourage smoking and loud noise that may cause disturbances to the wildlife.
We encourage our travellers to travel in smaller groups during their trips to various destinations. Handling bigger groups is not easy and they cause stress to the environment
All our driver guides are required to keep by the trails so as to avoid distraction and interferences with the wildlife. Our guides are also discouraged from taking bribes to go off the road for good photos and better views, we encourage clients to let the animals come to them without destroying their habitats. Everyone should keep in mind that the wild animals are not like those found in the theme parks, they are not tamed, hence should take extra precautions not to offend them. We ask our clients never buy products made from endangered species.
People
As a tours agency, we have come up with policies over the last couple of years to promote community based sustainability through the communities we come across during our tours. we advice our travelers to visit the traditional community villages and learn from them to have a brief understanding of their way of life and appreciate their cultures. From the office, we make time during low seasons and visit the communities and appreciate them by providing some basic supplies such as food, sanitary products, learning materials, medical supplies, and help in building better infrastructures. We also team up with some tours agencies, non governmental agencies such as International Red Cross, and also help from other people around us. We also create itineraries that allow clients to experience the local culture through food, festivals, activities and cultural sites.In activities such as village visits, our driver guides always accompany the clients and act as their voices with the locals. The local cultures and way of life are very beautiful but without a local guide, one may not get the chance to witness the beauty.
Most suppliers source their products from the locals around and also help to improve the living standards of the locals by engaging them in agricultural activities such as organic farming, by use manure from the Masai cattle, employing local labor for supply of water and tour guiding clients as they already have knowledge of the environment.
Providing new sources of income through buying of local souvenirs from the cultural communities and also employing locals to be our driver guides since they are the most knowledgeable about the destinations’ culture and other company staff. This ensures easy understanding between the clients and the local communities visited during the tour.
