Arusha, a vibrant city known as the safari capital of Tanzania, offers a perfect introduction to the natural wonders you are about to explore.
Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park
The first official day of your 4 days Serengeti Migration Safari starts with a scenic drive from Arusha to the Serengeti National Park. As you journey through the lush landscapes, anticipation builds for the wildlife encounters ahead. Upon entering the Serengeti, you'll be greeted by the vast plains teeming with wildlife. The Serengeti is renowned for its large predator populations, and you might catch glimpses of lions, leopards, and cheetahs as they stalk their prey.
Day 2: Full Day in Serengeti
On the second day of your 4 days Serengeti Migration Safari, you'll immerse yourself in the heart of the Serengeti. This full day is dedicated to exploring the park's diverse ecosystems and witnessing the Great Migration. Depending on the time of year, you might experience the calving season from December to March, when thousands of newborns take their first steps. This period is a spectacle of life and survival, as predators lurk nearby, drawn by the abundance of vulnerable prey.
Day 3: Another Full Day in Serengeti
Day three of the 4 days Serengeti Migration Safari offers another chance to delve into the wonders of the Serengeti. Consider an optional balloon safari at dawn for a breathtaking aerial view of the migration. Floating silently above the plains, you’ll witness the herds below, moving in unison across the landscape. Afterward, continue your ground safari, tracking the herds and observing the intricate behaviors of the wildlife. By evening, you'll travel to the Ngorongoro Rim for an overnight stay, enjoying the stunning views of the crater below.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Full Day and Return to Arusha
The final day of your 4 days Serengeti Migration Safari takes you to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Known as the "Garden of Eden" of Africa, the crater is a haven for wildlife, boasting one of the highest densities of game in Africa. Spend the day exploring the crater floor, where you can see elephants, rhinos, lions, and a myriad of other species.

The Serengeti Migration: A Year-Round Spectacle

Witnessing thousands of wildebeest calves being born within a short period is a moving experience.
