Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
One of the greatest shows on Earth, the great migration is an epic wildlife spectacle unrivaled anywhere. A moving pageantry with a cast of millions, this is when herds of animals are on the move through Africa from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and back again... on the ultimate quest for food, water and survival, determined to let nothing stop them in their tracks...
To witness the Great Migration from tented safari camps and on expertly guided game drives is to become part of Africa's extraordinary circle of life... Vast herds of wildebeest move across the plains alongside zebras and gazelles, with predators never far behind, on an annual journey through Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's greater Maasai Mara ecosystem. Spend two nights in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a game drive and picnic lunch in the wildlife-rich crater... fly from Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park, where a stay in a mobile safari camp offers opportunities to follow the migration on game drives with expert trackers, along with a memorable hot-air balloon flight over the plains at dawn... then fly to Kenya for two nights at a new safari camp in the secluded Olderkesi Conservancy, a 24,700-acre wilderness bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Explore its open plains and acacia woodlands on game drives, with a choice of a full day of wildlife viewing or a visit to a local Maasai community. Among the most distinctive experiences is a stay in a mobile safari camp designed to follow the movements of wildebeest, zebras, eland, and gazelles as they seek fresh grazing, often pursued by lions, hyenas, and leopards. A remarkable opportunity to experience one of nature's greatest spectacles...

4Fly to the Serengeti
In Maasai, the word Serengeti means "the place where the land moves on forever." See why when you fly to Serengeti National Park this morning where over a million wildebeest and some 200,000 zebras make a trek from the southern Serengeti to the Masai Mara and back again every year. In spite of the dangers they face from crocodiles or weather conditions, they are driven by a deeply held instinct to constantly search for food and water. Their annual trek takes them through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas with different habitats. Check into your semi permanent mobile camp for a memorable three-night stay in the heart of the park, then join an expert tracker for an eye-opening afternoon game drive into the Serengeti wilderness. Dinner is served back at the camp this evening.

5A sunrise balloon safari over the Serengeti
Rise before dawn for an unforgettable hot-air balloon ride* over the Serengeti, watching as the morning sun illuminates the vast plains and the wildlife moving below. From high above, take in a different perspective on this extraordinary landscape, with its winding rivers, scattered acacia trees, and seemingly endless grasslands. After landing, enjoy a special breakfast in the bush before setting out on a game drive through Serengeti National Park. Look for lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, gazelles, zebras, elephants, and more as you explore the park's remarkable landscapes, keeping watch for the great herds of wildebeest and zebra that move through the region during the annual migration. Return to camp for lunch, followed by an afternoon to enjoy the pleasures of safari life – relax in the comfort of your tent, take in the views across the surrounding wilderness, or simply enjoy some unhurried time at camp after an early and exhilarating start to the day.
