Seven Days with the Great Migration — an add-on from Jackson to Kenya & Tanzania

Each year, the vast plains of Kenya and Tanzania become the stage for one of the most extraordinary natural spectacles—the Great Migration. BrushBuck Wildlife Tours Inc., an established outfitter known for its expertise in both Alaskan wilderness and African safari adventures, offers a compelling 7-day add-on trip designed to immerse travelers in this awe-inspiring wildlife movement. Centered in the Serengeti National Park and the Maasai Mara Reserve, this journey tracks the flow of over a million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, as they navigate treacherous river crossings and predator-filled grasslands.

Kenya and Tanzania’s savannah is a distinctive ecosystem characterized by rolling grasslands dotted with acacia trees and dramatic kopjes—rocky outcrops that provide panoramic vantage points for observing wildlife congregations. Visitors witness not only the migration but also the vibrant ecosystem it supports: lions, cheetahs, elephants, and hyenas among them. This cycle has continued for centuries, deeply woven into the heritage of local Maasai communities whose lives are shaped by the fluctuations of the wilderness.

BrushBuck Wildlife Tours leverages seasoned guides and intimate knowledge of the migration’s timing and trail patterns, providing a tailored experience that balances thrilling wildlife encounters with comfortable, sustainable accommodations. Their focus on responsible tourism ensures minimal environmental impact while supporting conservation efforts in the region.

What sets this trip apart is its dual continental expertise, blending rugged Alaskan wilderness know-how with unmatched African safari craftsmanship. For adventurers seeking a seamless gateway into the heart of East Africa’s wild, the BrushBuck Great Migration 7-Day trip offers an authentic, detail-rich encounter with the continent’s raw natural drama and rich cultural tapestry.
