Classic Migration Safaris in East Africa
Scan your eyes across the wide open plains of the African savannahs and you'll find yourself swept away by large volumes of plains game. The Serengeti is synonymous with the annual wildebeest migration, one of the largest and most well-known concentrations of a single species of wildlife on earth.

Each year, around 1.5 million wildebeest make their slow trek across Tanzania's Serengeti in search of greener grazing, until they make their treacherous journey through the Mara River into Kenya where the grass is greener on the other side of the border.
The herds bring plenty of drama!
East Africa is well-known for having super prides of lions, some up to 40 lions strong. Natural predators like lion and hyena thrive when the migration passes by, with an endless feast of easy prey that's readily available to keep them going all year.
The open grasslands are also ideal hunting grounds for cheetah, and snap-jawed crocs lie in wait for a careless slipped foot in the river to become the next easy meal.
It's not just about the great migration. Both Kenya and Tanzania offer interesting cultural experiences set against a stunning backdrop of outstanding natural beauty.
Visit the local villages, explore philanthropy activities, make a difference at key conservation sites, or get off the beaten track into some of the many diverse national parks that East Africa has to offer.

Connect With The Maasai Warriors in East Africa
Maasai tribes have lived off the lands in Kenya and Tanzania since the 17th Century, and many of their ancient traditions are still part of everyday life today. Donned in colourful blankets and bright beaded jewellery, these nomadic tribes still farm cattle and co-exist with the wildlife, just as they have done for hundreds of years.
Sustainable tourism is changing the dynamic of the Maasai community, so many groups now offer interesting opportunities to visit local schools or spend time in the cultural villages. These programs are driving better relationships between locals and wildlife, which is spurring a revolution in global conservation efforts in East Africa.
