Route of the Great Migration and Calving Season Photographic Safari
This page presents the map and itinerary of the 2027 Great Migration photographic safari in Northern Tanzania, following the route from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Tarangire, Karatu, Ngorongoro, Ndutu, Central Serengeti and Seronera.
The purpose of this page is to show the main stages of the journey, the road and track transfers, the final internal flight and links to the dedicated camp, wildlife and complete photographic safari programme pages.
The route combines four very different photographic environments: baobabs, elephants and birdlife in Tarangire; the unique ecosystem of Ngorongoro Crater; the Ndutu plains during the calving season; and the vast landscapes of Central Serengeti, with big cats, African light and iconic scenery.
