5-Day Serengeti Migration Safari with Kogatende Flight and Crater

After breakfast, tourist(s) will be transferred to Arusha Airport for their flight to the Kogatende area of the Northern Serengeti. Enjoy a bird's eye view of Tanzania as you make the short trip, where you'll be met by your driver upon arrival.

You'll spend your day driving through this distinct and magnificently beautiful region of the park in search of the Wildebeest Migration and the Big Five in Serengeti National Park. In the afternoon, you have the option to extend your game drive until sunset, after which the driver will take you back to the lodge or camp.

After breakfast, we'll start our game drive around the Kogatende area, searching around the kopjes for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be gearing up to cross the Mara River into Kenya.

Home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the Wildebeest Migration and the relative safety of the Maasai Mara. If you're patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself, where wildebeest and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety on the opposite bank.

Dinner and overnight will be in the heart of Serengeti National Park according to the standard and the type of accommodation requested from our options. Lodge/Camp.

We'll start our day immediately after breakfast by driving through the plains of Togoro and the Mbuzi Mawe kopjes on our way to cross the Banagi River into the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. Along the way, you'll spot everything from the enigmatic dik-diks to towering elephants, and everything in between.

The Seronera is often known as "big cat country," and its kopjes and acacias provide an excellent opportunity to spot prides of lazy lions, sleek cheetahs out on the hunt, and leopards overseeing everything from their lofty perches. The region's hippo pools and wide-open spaces provide ample opportunities for spectacular game viewing in Serengeti National Park.

Dinner and overnight will be in the heart of Serengeti National Park according to the standard and the type of accommodation requested from our options. Lodge/Camp.

After breakfast, we get right on the road back towards the magnificent and attractive Ngorongoro Crater National Park. Our drive takes us back through the Serengeti via a different route, offering plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you on day two.

As far as the eye can see, you may spot thousands upon thousands of animals in herds: wildebeests and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the powerful African elephant, and the most respected group of animals, the predators. You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself, the all-powerful lion.

Dinner and overnight will be on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater or in nearby Karatu Town according to the standard and the type of accommodation requested from our options. Camp/Lodge.

After breakfast, tourist(s) will depart for Ngorongoro Crater, considered by some to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you get your first glimpse of this vast, verdant caldera from the bird's eye viewpoint, you'll soon understand why it has earned such a lofty reputation.

Home to over 120 species of mammal, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the highest and most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as large numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water.

From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces. The crater is home to a large number of predators, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations you surely won't want to miss.

After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool before returning to Arusha overnight.
