Safari summary
Discover the wonders of the 5-Day Great Serengeti Migration Safari, crafted to enhance your chances of witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Serengeti Wildebeest Migration, including the renowned Mara River crossing and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater.
In this 5-day Serengeti Safari we will cover the 2 most popular destinations in Tanzania - Central Serengeti (2 nights), North Serengeti (1 night) and Ngorongoro Crater (1 night). Tour starts and ends at Arusha. With our experienced driver guides, it will be a trip of a lifetime!
According to the last few years pattern, the possibility of sighting the migration is in the North Serengeti region from July to October. Hence, this tour is recommended for the tour dates between July and October months only.
Our 5-day Serengeti Migration safari itinerary strategically covers both the Lobo area, situated north of the central Serengeti National Park, and the remote Wagakuria area in the northern Serengeti National Park, where the majority of the wildebeest migration occurs from mid-July to October. This thoughtfully designed journey takes you on a drive into and back from the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro, concluding in Arusha town. Immerse yourself in the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater as part of this extraordinary adventure.
From mid-July to October, witness the Migration's northern movement as it departs the central Serengeti, splitting into two routes. The primary group ventures into the Western corridor, crossing the Grumeti River in breathtaking stampedes. Await the spectacle as enormous crocodiles patiently anticipate the wildebeests' river crossing. The migration then progresses through the Grumeti region, braving another challenging river crossing at the Mara River, ultimately reaching the lush grazing lands of Kenya's Masai Mara.
