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
-
01
Arusha to the Serengeti
Fly in by light aircraft to save a day on the road, landing at the strip nearest the herds. Afternoon game drive on the way to camp.
-
02
Full day with the migration
A full day following the columns, with a packed breakfast so you can stay out through the best light.
-
03
Second full day
More time where the game is — river crossings in the north, or the calving grounds in the south, depending on the season.
-
04
Serengeti to Ngorongoro
A long game drive south out of the park, with Olduvai Gorge on the way, and up to the crater rim for the night.
-
05
Crater floor, then Arusha
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.
