Few wildlife events rival Africa’s Great Migration, where thundering herds of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains, stalked by lions and other predators. Expedition Leader Promise Shayo shares highlights of Tanzania’s Great Migration & Ngorongoro Crater safari, from exploring the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater—home to nearly 30,000 animals—to game drives across the Serengeti. Plus, get a peek at our luxury bush camps, including our private mobile Migration Camp placed along the migration route where wildlife concentrations are highest.

No other wildlife event rivals East Africa’s Great Migration for sheer drama! Every year, some 2 million wildebeest and zebra make a grand circuit across the plains from the Serengeti into Kenya's Maasai Mara and back, following the new grass that sprouts with the seasonal rains. Expedition Leader Richard de Gouveia explains the impact of this never-ending cycle of movement on the ecosystem and on the predators—lions, leopards, crocodiles and more—that stalk their journeying prey. Plus, find out how you can witness the Great Migration for yourself!

With their spiky horns, adorable ears and wrinkled, armor-like hides, rhinos always make us smile. But the threats against them – primarily poaching and habitat loss – also provoke concern. In honor of World Rhino Day, Africa Expedition Leader Richard de Gouveia reveals all things rhino, from their biology and ecology to the measures conservationists and governments are taking to protect these pachyderms. Plus, find out where to see rhinos in the wild and how sustainable tourism can aid conservation efforts.
