8-Day Great Migration Safari

We will pick you up from the hotel at 8:00 am, introduce you to our guide, and take a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is renowned for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and boasts the country's largest population of elephants! You will encounter these giants up close and observe the interactions between elephant families. We will follow reported animal sightings as we embark on a game drive. There are plenty of herbivores like giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras. The predators (lions, cheetahs, and leopards) are more challenging to spot. Later, we will go to the river picnic site and enjoy the beautiful river view and animals while having lunch. Keep an eye out for small monkeys and baboons that may try to scare you and take your lunch! They are, however, nothing to worry about. After lunch, we will continue with the game drive before we exit the park around 5:30 pm and head to our accommodation (Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge) for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we will drive to the Serengeti for approximately 6 hours (including all stops), passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We will make a brief stop at the gate to admire the breathtaking crater for about 20 minutes. There is an optional visit to a Masai Village to learn about the daily life of the Masai people (an additional US$10 to US$20).

Serengeti National Park
Arrive in the late afternoon and embark on a game drive in Seronera (the center of the Serengeti). We will continue the game drive into the late evening, experiencing the sunset in the Serengeti while having a close view of the wild animals. We might be fortunate enough to witness a predator hunt! Finally, we will head to Serengeti Safari Camp.

Today, we venture into the expansive areas of the Serengeti as we head northwest, tracking the movements of wildlife.
After an early breakfast, we set off on a morning game drive with a picnic lunch in tow. The drive will concentrate on the Mara River, with the hope of witnessing herds of migrating animals crossing the river. We will continue our game drive until evening, when we return to Heritage Mara Camp for dinner and our overnight stay. Animals may be spotted at the camp.

Today, we journey westward and head back to the Mara River. Here, we will observe groups of wildebeest as they assemble and get ready to cross the Mara River. With any luck, we'll witness the beginning of the migration!

Following an early breakfast, we will set off for the game drive, enjoy lunch, and then continue the game drive until evening. Finally, we will return to Heritage Mara Camp.

Seronera, Serengeti National Park
Following an early breakfast, we will embark on a game drive heading south of the Serengeti towards Seronera. We will leave the Serengeti in the late afternoon, making our way to Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. This lodge is situated on the crater rim and offers a breathtaking view of the crater. The journey to the Ngorongoro Crater takes approximately 2 hours.

Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha Region
After an early breakfast, we will descend into the crater at 6:15 am. The goal is to locate the black rhino. Rhinos are the most challenging to spot in this stunning crater. However, most animals will be easier to see on the crater floor.
After lunch, we will go on a game drive, ascend the crater, and return to the lodge. Upon arrival, we will pack up and head to Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa near Arusha.

After breakfast, we will head to the Materuni Waterfalls for a short hike lasting about 2 hours. The vegetation, surreal views, and waterfalls are an amazing sight. From there, we will continue to a local coffee processing farm, where we will have lunch before heading to the airport.
