Position with the migration herds as they move across the Serengeti
A million hooves on the move
The Story
The great migration is not a single event but a year-round circle of life, and this journey is designed to intercept it. Your guide reads the rains and the herds to position you for the drama — thundering river crossings in the north, calving season on the southern short-grass plains, or the massed columns of the central corridor.
Beyond the migration itself, you'll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater and explore the Seronera Valley, home to lions, leopard and cheetah in remarkable numbers. This is a safari for travellers who want the wild at full volume.
As with every Palatial journey, the logistics simply disappear: park fees, full board, a private pop-up-roof Land Cruiser and AMREF medical cover are all included, leaving you free to focus on the horizon.
