5-Day Serengeti Great Migration Safari with Ngorongoro and Tarangire

• After meeting your safari guide in the morning, you will hit the road in your 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser and drive to Tarangire National Park. An extensive open savannah, baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River characterize the landscape of this beautiful national park. Animals gather at the river, and elephants, giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests can often be seen.
• You might even be able to spot the fringe-eared oryx or the strange-looking gerenuk. Tarangire is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are closely followed by predators including lions. Your safari vehicle has an open roof and is the ideal viewing platform to appreciate the nature and animals around you. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and travel to Mto wa Mbu, where you will spend the night.

• Today's journey takes you past Lake Manyara into the fertile Ngorongoro Highlands. Crossing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will reach the vast open plains of Serengeti National Park in the early afternoon. The following days are set aside for exploring the famous Serengeti, home to the Big Five - elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino - as well as many other animals. You can look forward to many new wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery during your game drives, as no day on safari is the same.
• You will spend the following three nights at a camp or lodge. Depending on the season, you will either stay one night in the central Serengeti and two nights in the northern Serengeti (June, October) or the southern Serengeti (January and March), or you will stay all three nights in the central Serengeti (November and December and April and May).

• These two days are all about the great Serengeti. You will learn about animal behaviour as well as their social structures. Serengeti National Park is the third-largest park in Tanzania and is stunningly beautiful. While the landscape in the south is characterized by open grassland as far as you can see, open woodlands and hills are predominant in the north and west.
• Together with the Masai Mara, the Serengeti hosts the Great Migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras, one of the greatest shows on earth. Your home is one of the Kati Kati Tented Camps. To increase your chances of witnessing the Great Migration, your route and the order of camps are chosen according to your time of travel.

• After breakfast, you will continue your safari in Serengeti National Park. In the Seronera Valley, you might be lucky enough to see predators hunt as animals gather around the waters during the dry season. After a picnic lunch, you will slowly drive toward the incredible Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you reach the crater, you will have a superb view of the caldera. This approximately 20 km-wide crater is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to over 20,000 animals. You will stay at a camp or lodge on the Ngorongoro crater rim, from where you can enjoy an incredible sunset.

• Rise and shine! After an early breakfast, you will drive down the steep path into the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken and unflooded caldera in the world, and it has an unbelievable diversity of wildlife. In addition to zebras and wildebeests, you might also spot the rare black rhino and other members of the Big Five. The crater is also home to other animals such as hyenas, waterbucks, bushbucks, eland, and more than 500 bird species. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and drive back to Arusha, arriving in the early evening.
