7 Days Private Luxury Wildebeest Migrations from Zanzibar

We will leave Arusha early morning and drive to Serengeti National Park. We will drive to Serengeti on a road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for animal sightings along the way. The golden savannah and endless plains, teeming with zebras, wildebeest and giraffes make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. On this day, we will enjoy a picnic lunch on Naabai kopje (a small, rocky hill in a generally flat area), where you will have the opportunity to view Serengeti’s famous pink-headed lizards. After lunch, we will proceed further into the plains for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Central Serengeti. 

Main Accommodation: Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge 

Meals: Water is included in all meals (Other drinks are not included).

After breakfast, we'll start our game drive to the Kogatende area, searching around the kopjes looking for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be preparing to cross the Mara River into Kenya. Home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the Wildebeest Migration and the relative safety of the Maasai Mara. If you're patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself where wildebeest and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety. Dinner and overnight North Serengeti.

Accommodation: Mara Mara Tented Lodge

Meals: Water is included in all meals (Other drinks are not included).

After breakfast you will proceed to continue our game drive in Kogatende and Bologonja Area with much focus on the Great Migration. Enjoy picnic lunch under the Acacia Tree with a spectacular view of Great Migration and the Mountain ranges of the Maasai Mara. If we are lucky, we might see the Crossing of the Great Migration passing through the Mara River to Maasai Mara an event one should never miss to see. Later in the afternoon, we will drive back to Tented lodge for a nice dinner and a decent overnight.

We'll start our day immediately after breakfast, driving through the plains of Togoro and the Mbuzi Mawe kopjes on our way to cross the Banagi River into the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. Along the way, you'll spot everything from the enigmatic dik-diks to towering elephants, and everything in between. The Seronera is often known as 'big cat country', and its kopjes and acacias provide an excellent opportunity to spot prides of lazy lions, sleek cheetahs out on the hunt, and leopards overseeing everything from their lofty perches. The region's hippo pools and wide-open spaces provide ample opportunities for game viewing. Dinner and overnight in the heart of the Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast, we get right on the road back towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Our drive takes us back through the Serengeti via a different route, offering plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you on day two. As far as the eye can see, you’ll spot thousands upon thousands of animals in herds; wildebeests and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the powerful African elephant and the most respected group of animals: the predators. You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself; the lion. Dinner and overnight on the rim of the Ngorongoro.

After an early breakfast, we’ll head to Ngorongoro Crater, the ideal time for wildlife sightings. Our game drive will explore the crater, with a picnic lunch at a small lake, home to hippos and migratory birds. The crater’s unique ecosystem offers a high chance of spotting all of "The Big Five" – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and water buffalo. Ngorongoro Crater, formed over two million years ago by a collapsed volcano, is a breathtaking natural wonder. Inside, we’ll see zebras, hippos, wildebeests, and hyenas. Flocks of flamingos grace Soda Lake, while hawks and vultures circle the sky. The crater also hosts storks, ibis, and cranes, making it a birdwatcher's dream. After an unforgettable afternoon of wildlife viewing, we’ll begin our journey back to Arusha, reflecting on the incredible wildlife experiences of the day.
