The Great East African Migration Safari

Tour Overview

The route follows Nairobi – Masai Mara – Sand River – Northern Serengeti – Central Serengeti – Ngorongoro – Lake Manyara – Arusha – Nairobi. Rather than treating each stop as a simple overnight, the itinerary is designed so the transfer itself becomes part of the experience and each destination has a clear role in the overall safari. Core experiences are built around the landscapes and wildlife strengths of Masai Mara, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and additional route stops. Game-viewing days are deliberately flexible around wildlife conditions, while transfer days aim to combine an efficient onward journey with meaningful activity on arrival whenever operating times permit. Cross-border sectors require coordinated immigration, guide/vehicle handover and current border-routing confirmation; the Sand River sector named in the brochure should be operationally reconfirmed for the actual travel date. Accommodation properties are intentionally not fixed in this content because the supplied brochure defines the route and overnights rather than named hotels or camps; Sunward can therefore attach the appropriate contracted properties and meal plans in Nexus Travel for each market or rate season.
