The Great Migration

Day-By-Day Itinerary

Day 1 Arusha

Arusha - Meeting with the guide and transfer to the lodge/tented camp in the vicinity of Arusha, dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2 Serengeti (Seronera)

Breakfast at the lodge/tented camp and departure towards Serengeti National Park. Afternoon game drive with picnic lunch. Arrival at the lodge/tented camp in the central Seronera Area in the late afternoon, dinner and overnight stay.
The Serengeti National Park is probably the most famous of the protected natural areas in all of East Africa. Here you can encounter all of the Big Five: elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo. The park was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1981 and is estimated to host 1.5 million Gnus, 300 thousand zebras, 150 thousand gazelles, 3000 lions and 1360 elephants.

Day 3 Serengeti (Mara)

Breakfast at the lodge/tented camp and departure towards the Mara River following the endless herds of Gnu and Zebra. Picnic lunch on the way. At sunset arrival at the lodge/tented camp, dinner and overnight stay.
The build-up to a Mara river crossing is tense and unpredictable. Thousands of wildebeest aggregate at a favoured crossing point, teasing themselves (and a few human spectators) for hours, even days. Occasionally they peer over the edge of the riverbank, dithery and indecisive, before withdrawing back into the bush.

Day 4 Serengeti (Mara)

Breakfast at the lodge/tented camp and departure for an all-day game drive along the Mara River. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the savannah surrounded by majestic wildlife. Return to camp in the late afternoon, dinner and overnight stay.
Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth! The Great Migration is an overwhelming, humbling and quite simply amazing wildlife experience, and the stunning landscapes of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara form dramatic backdrops to the event. Witnessing this astonishing feat of nature is a real life-changer.
Special Add-On: Ask us for a thrilling balloon safari at sunrise to make your trip even more special.

Day 5 Serengeti (Seronera)

Breakfast at the lodge/tented camp and departure towards the central area of the Serengeti. It is time to leave the bulk of the herds behind and begin the long drive back home. But along the way you will still enjoy the multitudes of wildlife the Serengeti has to offer
Special Add-On: Stop at the Olduvai Gorge and learn about the Cradle of Life.

Day 6 Ngorongoro Crater

Breakfast at the lodge/tented camp and departure for one of the Seven Wonders of Africa, and the only intact caldera existing on the earth: the crater of the extinct Ngorongoro volcano. Enjoy a day dedicated to the photo-safari in the park and a picnic lunch; late afternoon arrival at the lodge/tented camp, dinner and overnight stay.
Enjoy the impressive fauna and flora of this secluded paradise where the animals never migrate and black rhinos still roam freely.
Special Add-On: Ask us for an overnight stay in one of the exclusive lodges on the ridge of the crater.
