A 7-day safari in Tanzania that focuses on the period of the Great Migration in the South of the Serengeti, designed for those who have already visited the parks of Tanzania, or for those who want to deepen their knowledge of the ecosystem in the period characterized by the passage of millions of herbivores that go towards the boundless plains of the Serengeti.

DAY 3 • ON THE ROUTE OF THE GREAT MIGRATION
An intense new day of sightings awaits you! In the period between December and March the Great Migration is found in this area. The period coincides with the time of the birth of the puppies and witnessing it is a unique emotion, also due to the high presence of felines that try to take advantage of the abundance of herbivores to feast. The low grass plains of this area also attract large numbers of Thomson’s gazelles and cheetahs that follow their migration to Lake Ndutu. Return in the late afternoon to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: MAASAI BOMA OLDUVAI GORGE MUSEUM
- Ndutu Wilderness Camp
- Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (B, L, D)
DAYS 4, 5 AND 6 • THE LAND OF THE GREAT MIGRATION AND FELINES
Departure in the morning to the Serengeti, considered the most famous national park in the world, cradle of the Great Migration, where one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed every year: tens of thousands of ungulates move, guided by the primordial instinct to survive, in constant search of new pastures. The landscape, dotted with large acacias and Kopjes (mounds of ancient rocks), is the ideal habitat for big cats. As you go deeper into the heart of the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means, in the Maasai language, “boundless plain”. Your safari will continue, thanks to the skill of our guide, to discover the park where there will be no shortage of opportunities for the sighting of families of giraffes and elephants, large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and smaller ones such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, along with more than 500 species of birds. The game drive will end in the afternoon with transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay in the park depending on the category chosen.
The following days will be entirely dedicated to exploring the park with morning and afternoon safaris.
- Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp
- Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (B, L, D)
DAY 7 • RETURN TO ARUSHA/KILIMANJARO AIRPORT
In the morning, after a short game drive, you will return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro in the late afternoon to catch your flight home.
This concludes your safari in Tanzania. Along the way you will have the opportunity to go shopping to buy gifts and souvenirs in the characteristic local shops and bazaars.
(Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Arusha: 6 h • Serengeti•Kilimanjaro Airport: 7 h) Upon request and at an additional cost, it is possible to reduce the return time from the road safari by using domestic flights that connect the main airstrips in the Serengeti directly to the airports of Arusha (ARK), Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Zanzibar (ZNZ).
However, we are flexible and available in case of special needs, such as early flight or other.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THIS SAFARI WITH AN EXTENSION OF A BEACH STAY IN ZANZIBAR.
