Description

Embark on a 6-day wildebeest migration safari in Tanzania. Visit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Serengeti National Park, and the Western Corridor.
Embark on a 6-day safari adventure in Tanzania. Visit the best and most beautiful national parks in Africa, including Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy game drives and see the Great Migration, over 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and some 500 bird species.

Day 1: Arusha – Ngorongoro
Be picked up from Arusha and transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Arrive on time for lunch at the lodge and after lunch, descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for an afternoon safari tour.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard.

Day 2: Ngorongoro – Central Serengeti
After breakfast, head towards the Serengeti National Park, leaving the highlands behind. Descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

Day 3: Serengeti
After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Serengeti National Park. The wildebeest migration normally passes through the area in May and June. However, the Seronera area is within reach of both the southern plains and the Western Corridor. The resident game in the area is phenomenal, and species such as elephant, buffalo, gazelle, zebra, lion, and a variety of other predators and herbivores can be seen here all year round.

Day 4: Central Serengeti – Western Serengeti
After breakfast, head towards the western reaches of the Serengeti National Park, also known as the Western Corridor. Do a game drive en-route from the Seronera area to the Western Corridor. Arrive on time for lunch at the lodge and after lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the area. The wildebeest migration can normally be found in the Western Corridor area in June and July, depending on rainfall patterns.
Dinner and overnight in the Western Corridor area, at Serengeti Tented Camp.

Day 5: Western Serengeti
After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Western Corridor. The key feature in the Western Corridor is the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers, running almost parallel to each other, each supporting a band of evergreen forest. The rivers sustain a permanent game population of zebra, wildebeest, all the predators, and birdlife.

Day 6: Southern Serengeti – Arusha
After breakfast, drive to Arusha via Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Explore the Maasai boma. Lunch will be provided on the way to Arusha, where your safari adventure will come to an end.
