Six Days Tanzania Wildebeest

Safari summary

On a 6-day Tanzania Wildebeest Migration Safari that takes you through some of the most iconic wildlife destinations: Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Your journey begins in Arusha, where you'll head to Lake Manyara National Park, a picturesque area nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley. Here, you'll encounter a stunning variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and the famous tree-climbing lions that often lounge on acacia branches. The park is also a haven for bird lovers, with large flocks of pelicans and pink flamingos gracing the lake's shores.

On Days two and Three, you'll journey through the Karatu farmlands and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to reach the Northern Serengeti. This region is renowned for the dramatic Mara River crossing, where you'll witness the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles braving the river, often stalked by predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. This is one of nature's most spectacular events and a highlight of your safari.

Day Four takes you to the Central Serengeti, where you'll continue to follow the Great Migration. This area, known as Seronera, is rich in wildlife and diverse habitats, ensuring sightings of almost every species representative of the Serengeti, from large predators to grazing herbivores.

On Day Five, you'll travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with optional visits to a Maasai boma or the historical Olduvai Gorge. Your day ends with an overnight stay at the Crater rim, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The final day is dedicated to exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the "Eden of Africa" and the "8th Wonder of the World." This massive caldera, once a towering mountain, now hosts a remarkable diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare black rhino. After a day of unforgettable game viewing, you'll return to Arusha, marking the end of your extraordinary safari adventure.
