Day by day
Pick up from Kilimanjaro International Airport upon your arrival and drive to the hotel.
Rest for the day.
Enjoy a full-day game drive in Tarangire National Park with your Tanzanian driver/guide. Tarangire National Park has one of the highest population densities of elephants anywhere in Tanzania, and its sparse vegetation, strewn with baobab and acacia trees, makes it a beautiful and distinctive place to visit.
Dinner and overnight stay in Karatu (lodge or camping).
After breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and enjoy the scenery, landscapes, people, and wildlife along the way. Ngorongoro supports the greatest concentration of wildlife left on Earth.
Reach Serengeti in the evening and enjoy the sunset.
Dinner and overnight stay at Acacia Tented Lodge or camping.
Enjoy a full-day game drive in the middle of Serengeti National Park, which is known for its massive annual migration of wildebeest and zebra. Seeking new pasture, the herds move north from their breeding grounds in the grassy southern plains. Many of them cross the marshy western corridor's crocodile-infested Grumeti River.
Dinner and overnight stay (lodge or camping).
After breakfast, drive to the northern side of Serengeti National Park, where the migrating wildebeest can be seen. Millions of wildebeest and zebras, along with antelopes such as gazelles, gather in this area for the green pastures.
Dinner and overnight at Acacia Tented Lodge or camping.
Wake up early and drive to the Mara River.
Come close to the Mara River, where the migration crosses toward Masai Mara in Kenya.
After breakfast, enjoy the northern side of Serengeti National Park. Many predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and spotted hyenas, are also seen in this area.
After lunch, drive back through Lobo until you reach Serengeti for dinner and overnight stay (lodge or camping).
Wake up early in the morning in Serengeti National Park and drive back to Ngorongoro.
Enjoy a game drive down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers 8,300 sq kilometres of Africa's most incredible landscapes, wildlife, people, and archaeological sites. At the heart of the conservation area, the Ngorongoro Crater is well known as the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and is home to elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos. This crater, 19.2 km in diameter and 610 meters deep, is undoubtedly East Africa's ultimate Big Five destination.
Back to Karatu for dinner and overnight stay (lodge or camping).
Enjoy a full-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara National Park is a Tanzanian national park located in both Arusha Region and Manyara Region, Tanzania. The two administrative regions have no jurisdiction over the park. Lake Manyara National Park is known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake.
Dinner and overnight stay (lodge or camping).

The Serengeti National Park has accommodations located in five specific migration-focused areas as noted below. The park also has various seasonal mobile accommodations located in distinct areas that track the wildebeest migration movement.
The Serengeti National Park is home to truly incredible scenery and magnificent wildlife, including the largest lion population in Africa. The Northern Serengeti offers a chance to escape the crowds: this region of the park - wedged between the Central Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve to the north - is remote and relatively inaccessible, which means it sees fewer visitors.
