Safari

Serengeti Migration Safari — 5 Days

Placed in the right part of the Serengeti for the month you travel.

The migration is not a single event and not in one place. This itinerary is built around where the herds actually are when you go — the southern plains for calving, the western corridor in early season, the Mara River in the north from July.

Highlights

  • Camps positioned for the herds in your travel month
  • Predator action around the columns
  • River crossings in season (July–October)
  • Calving on the southern plains (January–February)
  • A morning on the Ngorongoro Crater floor

The itinerary, day by day

  1. 01

    Arusha to the Serengeti

    Serengeti National Park

  2. 02

    Full day with the migration

    Serengeti National Park

    A full day following the columns, with a packed breakfast so you can stay out through the best light.

  3. 03

    Second full day

    Serengeti National Park

    More time where the game is — river crossings in the north, or the calving grounds in the south, depending on the season.

  4. 04

    Serengeti to Ngorongoro

    Ngorongoro Conservation Area

    A long game drive south out of the park, with Olduvai Gorge on the way, and up to the crater rim for the night.

  5. 05

    Crater floor, then Arusha

    Ngorongoro Crater

    An early descent for a full morning in the caldera, then the drive back to Arusha or the airport.

Questions about this trip

Will I definitely see a river crossing?

No — crossings are unpredictable even in season. We put you in the right place at the right time; the herds decide the rest.
