Safari summary
ABOUT 7 DAYS MIGRATION SAFARI IN SERENGETI AND NGORONGORO
Embark on a mesmerizing adventure with a 7 days Serengeti Migration Safari, where nature unfolds its grandeur in the heart of Africa. This safari promises an immersive experience, taking you through the awe-inspiring landscapes and the incredible spectacle of the Serengeti's annual migration.
This 7 Days Great Serengeti Safari package has been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration and a full day game drive in central Serengeti (Seronera). By the end of April, the wildebeest migration starts to spread west across the plains towards the Seronera area (central Serengeti) and Western Corridor (western Serengeti). The majority of the migration can normally be seen in the Seronera area (or just south of the Seronera, in the southern plains) from April to May. The herd continues heading north towards the Maasai Mara in Kenya. By June the long rains have stopped, and the dry season is in full swing. It will stretch from the end of May to early November. The weather is sunny with some easing thunderstorms in the evenings. The herds are beginning to grow stronger and faster. Since the calves are maturing, the wildebeest travel collectively at their peak speed, covering up to 150km (93 miles) per day. There’s power, it seems, in numbers. Kitano Tours and Safari 7 days Migration wildlife safaris, tours, holidays and travel packages, have been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti wildebeest migration. We have designed the itinerary to include both the Seronera area (central Serengeti National Park) and Western corridor (western Serengeti National Park) where the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found from May to June. To save on unnecessary travel time and to increase your game viewing time, this itinerary has been designed that you fly back from the Serengeti National Park to Arusha town. The itinerary also includes a visit to the world famous Ngorongoro Crater.
