Itinerary
Witness one of nature’s most astonishing spectacles on the 5 Days Wildebeest Migration Safari in Tanzania—a trip where the wild heart of Africa beats strong. Track the awe-inspiring movements of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Each day brings a new chapter in the migration saga: from calving season in the south, where thousands of newborns attract prowling big cats, to the breathtaking Mara River crossings teeming with predators and drama. The tour’s flexibility is its unique edge, with routes customized to follow the migration’s path and ensure prime wildlife viewing, no matter the season. In addition to spectacular game drives, travelers are treated to the raw beauty of volcanic grasslands, riverine forests, and rocky outcrops. Whether you’re a seasoned safari enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this safari promises close encounters with Africa’s most iconic animals and unforgettable photographic opportunities.
day 1 - Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for a full day of wildlife viewing. Because it is one of Tanzania's lesser-known parks, it retains its true safari feel. The mountainous terrain is beautiful, with Baobab trees spread against the blue sky. The world's biggest concentration of elephants may be seen here. Around the Tarangire River, herds of up to 300 elephants can be observed drinking or taking a mud bath. Aside from elephants, Tarangire is a birder's heaven. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, and even tree-climbing pythons can be seen in the region around the wetlands.
Dinner and overnight at the campsite. Choices for tented camp or lodge are available upon request.
day 2 - Karatu to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we head towards Serengeti National Park via the farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
We head to the central park area, known as 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. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park
Dinner and overnight at the campsite. Choices for tented camp or lodge are available upon request.
day 3 - Full day game drive: Tracking the wildebeests
Today you continue your safari in Serengeti National Park. The stunning landscapes in the park are seen in some of the most impressive nature documentaries. The endless plains and abundance of wildlife are unsurpassed.
The annual wildebeest migration with more than a million wildebeest is probably the highlight of the Serengeti. Together with your private guide, you will be looking for the herds across the plains. Apart from the migratory animals, you will also get to see lots of other animals, like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many more. Expect to be impressed by the natural beauty of Africa’s most famous park.
If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on an optional (extra) balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife.
Dinner and overnight at the campsite. Choices for tented camp or lodge are available upon request.
day 4 - Full day game drive: Tracking the wildebeests
Today you will enjoy another full-day game drive as you travel between the Northern and Central Serengeti. Today you have the flexibility to create your own itinerary – spend another full day in the Northern Serengeti before driving to the Central Serengeti or enjoy a half-day game drive in the North and a half-day game drive in the Central
Dinner and overnight at the campsite. Choices for tented camp or lodge are available upon request.
day 5 - From Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Today you will be rewarded with a full-day game drive in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Crater is famous for Africa’s best game viewing as there is an ever-present abundance of wildlife due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor. You will descend 610 meters into the Crater where your safari truly begins. Spot the endangered black rhino, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, eland, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle and giant tusked elephants plus lions, leopards, cheetahs, and scavengers such as spotted hyenas, jackals, and wild dogs. Over 500 species of birds have been recorded within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area
