Itinerary
Arusha and Serengeti
Ngorongoro Crater | Serengeti
After breakfast, tourists will be transferred to Arusha Airport for their flight to the Kogatende area of the Northern Serengeti. Enjoy a bird's-eye view of Tanzania as you make the short trip, where you'll be met by your driver upon arrival. You'll spend your day driving through this distinct and magnificently beautiful region of the park in search of the wildebeest migration and the Big Five in Serengeti National Park.

Serengeti (Kogatende)
Serengeti
Searching around the kopjes looking for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be gearing up 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. Witness the death-defying crossing itself, where wildebeest and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety on the opposite bank.

Kogatende - Serena
Serengeti
Togoro and the Mbuzi Mawe kopjes on our way to cross the Banagi River into the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. The Seronera is often known as 'big cat country', and its kopjes and acacias provide an excellent opportunity to spot 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 spectacular game viewing in the Serengeti.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro Crater | Serengeti
You 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 all-powerful lion.
