Barafu Flying Safaris · 6 days · 5 nights
The Migration by Air
We fly you to wherever the herds are that month: Ndutu for calving from December to March, Kogatende for the river crossings from July to October.
Your flights
Day by day
- Day 1
Fly to the herds
From Arusha to the airstrip nearest the migration that month. Ndutu in the calving season, Kogatende in the north for the crossings.
- Days 2–4
With the migration
Full days following the herds from a seasonal camp that moves with them. In the south, calving draws lion and cheetah. In the north, we wait at the Mara River crossing points.
- Day 5
A second view
Stay put for more river time, or move to a second camp for a different landscape.
- Day 6
Fly out
Morning drive and the flight back to Arusha, or straight on to Zanzibar.
Nobody can promise a river crossing on a given day. We plan enough days near the river to give you the best chance.

Where you could stay
Stays you can feel
The kind of places this journey stays. Choose a feeling; every photo has a reference you can send us, and we fit the stay to your dates and preferences.
Lanterns, a lit fire pit, dinner outdoors. The day slows down and the stars come out.
Elephants at the waterhole, hills above the plains, a view from every chair.
Photos courtesy of our partner lodges and camps. We book the stays; the lodges run them. Select any photo for a closer look.
