When is The Great Migration?
Following a year-round, circular path, the migration is an endlessly active phenomenon that cannot be predicted with complete certainty. As the animals move in constant search of food and water, the timing of their journey is entirely dependent on ever-changing weather patterns, such as rainfall, and other environmental factors. Check out our blog "When to witness the wildebeest migration" for more information.

Holiday to
Kenya & Tanzania
Our trip to Eastern Africa was an amazing experience. African safari should be on everyone’s bucket list.
The description of the amenities did not come close to what we got. We were blown away with the accommodations from the rooms, to the food, and the staff. It was better than we had imagined.
