8 Day Serengeti Great Migration & Mara River Shared Group Safari 2027

These scheduled departures are designed for the July to October 2027 migration season, when wildebeest herds are commonly associated with Northern Serengeti and the Mara River ecosystem. August and September are especially popular, but migration timing changes with rainfall, grazing and herd movement.

No. River crossings, exact herd locations and individual wildlife sightings are natural events and cannot be scheduled or guaranteed. Your guide adjusts the daily game-drive plan according to current conditions.

Tarangire, Central Serengeti, extended Northern Serengeti / Mara River migration tracking, Empakaai and Ngorongoro Crater.

Yes. Solo travellers are welcome, as are couples and small parties. Each scheduled Land Cruiser has a published maximum of five or six guests, and the exact live capacity is shown against each departure.

Choose an available departure and pay the USD 100 seat confirmation by card through Nihapa Tours' WeTravel booking system. The 30% deposit is due 90 days before safari and must also be paid by card through WeTravel. The initial USD 100 is credited toward that 30%. WeTravel helps us reconcile each payment to the correct traveller and departure.

The remaining 70% is due 45 days before departure. Your invoice and booking record will show the amount due and the applicable final-payment instructions.

You may transfer to a suitable confirmed departure on nearby dates. If those dates do not work for you, you may request a full refund of all payments made toward the unformed departure. WeTravel card payments are refunded through WeTravel to the original payment method, with no cancellation penalty because the minimum group did not form.

Sometimes. If Nihapa Tours agrees that the safari can operate and you prefer to keep your original dates, the applicable 1-, 2- or 3-person price tier normally applies unless another arrangement is confirmed in writing.

The departure is automatically marked Fully Booked when confirmed participants reach its published maximum. The Join Group action is disabled and the date is removed from the booking dropdown.

A departure closes automatically when its start date begins in Tanzania time or when confirmed participants reach that departure's maximum capacity.

Where applicable to eligible travellers, the mandatory inbound policy is included in the quoted 2027 safari price. The current planning basis is no premium for ages 0–2, USD 22 for ages 3–17 and USD 44 for adults 18+. Final eligibility, first-point-of-entry rules and rates follow the official NIC/ZIC policy in force when issued. Comprehensive personal travel insurance remains separate.
