It was an absolutely amazing trip. We saw the Big 5 plus their babies. We also saw the Ugly 5. Plus thousands of zebras and wildebeests and hundreds of different gazelles.

For some of the year, the Serengeti National Park is home to the largest concentration of migrating plains game in the world.
Estimates suggest that there are up to two million wildebeest, one million gazelle and 200,000 zebra, as well as large numbers of elephant and a wonderful selection of bird life. Lions are easily seen, and in large numbers – there are around 2000 within the park. The terrain varies from treeless plains to stretches of savannah dotted with flat-topped acacia trees. Granite rock outcrops, known as ‘kopjes’, blend with riverine bush and thick scrub in the area around the Seronera River.
The wildebeest breeding season is in January and February, then the move to the north and west of the Serengeti happens between April and June. From July to October the animals move further north to the Masai Mara in Kenya, before starting to return to the southern and central plains of the Serengeti in November.

Peggy Rybachuk Kenya & Tanzania Adventure
Andrew Griffin Kenya & Tanzania AdventureThe 14 day experience was truly amazing for me and my son. The whole experience including the organisation, camping and hotels was outstanding. The trip involved some long days, long drives and early morning but you soon forgot about this as you were rewarded with amazing sunrises, stunning wildlife in at least five different national parks or wildlife area and beautiful scenery. Our local guides and Exodus team were extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
The final few days in Zanzibar allowed us to chill out on a beautiful white beach and enjoy the Indian Ocean. The optional trips including the Serengeti Balloon Experience, the snorkelling in Zanzibar and the Maasia people tour were brilliant.
Bridget Bennett Kenya & Tanzania AdventureThis trip exceeded all expectations in terms of the iconic wildlife we saw and the spectacular scenery, with a wonderful guide and crew. Also we had a good group of only 7, and being outside peak season camp sites were quiet, and there was less competition between safari vehicles for prime viewing spots.
