6-Day Great Migration Safari in Tanzania

Overnight stays use selected lodge or tented-camp accommodation, with the exact properties confirmed in the accommodation section. Group size, meal arrangements and included services should be reviewed together because they affect the practical cost of the route.

📋 Day-by-Day Itinerary

- After breakfast, your safari guide will pick you up and drive you to Tarangire National Park, a journey of about 2-3 hours on good tarmac roads. Tarangire is famous for its vast elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and seasonal wildlife concentrations along the Tarangire River. During the dry season, animals gather in large numbers, creating excellent game viewing opportunities. Expect to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and a wide variety of birdlife.

You will enter the Serengeti via Naabi Hill Gate and begin your first game drive in the endless plains. The Serengeti is home to the Big Five and world-famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. Expect sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and possibly leopards as you explore Central Serengeti. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
- After breakfast, you travel north with a full-day game drive toward the Kogatende region in Northern Serengeti. This area is especially famous between July and October for dramatic Mara River crossings, where wildebeest face crocodiles and predators during migration. The journey itself is a game drive, offering sightings of elephants, lions, zebras, and more across changing landscapes. You arrive in Northern Serengeti for dinner and overnight stay. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
- After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in Northern Serengeti before heading back to Central Serengeti with wildlife viewing en route.

Arrive at your luxury camp in Central Serengeti for dinner and overnight stay. drinks (except spirits/liquor)
- After breakfast, you descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater floor hosts an incredible density of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, lions, zebras, hippos, and the rare black rhino. Birdlife is also abundant, especially flamingos around the lake areas. After a picnic lunch inside the crater, you ascend and drive back to Arusha, where your safari ends.
