Best safari migration area

The Serengeti hosts the biggest and most thrilling wild animal migration in Africa.

Be where the action is

My animated month-by-month map shows you where the migratory animals will be at any given time of the year.

Tanzania is better than Kenya

A Kenya safari is remarkable, but does not match the broader and more wilderness experience of a Tanzania safari.

"Out of Africa" experience

The Serengeti in Tanzania provides the most moving "Out of Africa" experience. The landscape is sweeping and the density of vehicles near you is normally quite low.

Ngorongoro Crater

Although the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania does not have a migration, it is nonetheless a magnificent experience because of its unique grand caldera setting and its unrivaled density of large animals.

Open safari vehicles

A big advantage of South Africa and Botswana is you and your safari guide will likely ride in an open vehicle (in the private reserves). This enriches your experience. In Kenya and Tanzania, you almost always travel in a windowed hard-roof vehicle.

Walking safaris

Another South Africa and Botswana plus is your safari guide can take you on dusk walks and night drives (in the private reserves).

Best in South Africa

The best game viewing venues in South Africa are in the private reserves.

Best in Botswana

The Moremi Game Reserve has the best and most beautiful setting among Botswana's many reserves and parks.

Don't blame your safari guide...

...if wildlife doesn't appear on cue. If the sharp eyes of a predator are unable to spot a camouflaged animal, how can you expect your safari guide to do so?
