4-Day Serengeti Migration Safari in the Western Corridor

• On this day, you leave Moshi or Arusha town, the base town for safaris in northern Tanzania, and travel along the Arusha - Dodoma highway on a scenic drive towards Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will pass by a supermarket, if you wish, for some last-minute shopping of any personal effects that you may need. You will arrive in the Serengeti in the late afternoon. Serengeti National Park is known for its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will proceed to the Lobo area, located just north of the Seronera area in central Serengeti National Park. The wildebeest migration normally passes through the Lobo area every year around July/August en route to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve, and again in late October/November en route to the southern Serengeti National Park.
• Note that:
• You can break up the drive with some or both of the activities below:
• Olduvai Gorge Museum: Sometimes known as the Cradle of Mankind, the Olduvai Gorge Museum commemorates some of the oldest evidence of human habitation ever found. Here, you will see some of the oldest fossil evidence in the world of human habitation, visit the museum to learn more about the human journey, and take in the stunning views of this stark gorge country.
• Maasai boma visit: You will visit one of the famous Maasai bomas, where you will have the opportunity to witness, and even participate in, traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic Maasai village, and do a little souvenir shopping at the local market.
• Both activities above are excluded from your tour and require an additional cost. Arrive in the Serengeti in the late afternoon for an evening game drive until evening, when you will check in at a camp or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. Lunch is taken at one of the picnic sites, most likely at the Naabi Hill Gate, where you will also get the chance to stretch your legs as your guide sorts out the registration and relevant paperwork. Dinner and overnight in Serengeti. All meals included.

• After breakfast, we head towards the western reaches of Serengeti National Park, also known as the Western Corridor. We will enjoy a game drive en route from the Seronera area to the Western Corridor.
• We arrive in time for lunch at the lodge, and after lunch, we will enjoy an afternoon game drive in the area. The wildebeest migration can normally be found in the Western Corridor area in late April, May, June, or early July, depending on rainfall patterns. Dinner and overnight in the Western Corridor area, as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

• After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Western Corridor. The key feature of the Western Corridor is the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers, running almost parallel to each other, each supporting a band of evergreen forest. These rivers sustain a permanent game population of zebra, wildebeest, predators, and birdlife. It is also possible to find large pods of hippos and huge crocodiles in the Grumeti River. The wildebeest normally gather around waterholes by mid-morning in such densities that they look like ants swarming around a nest.
• After the game drive, we drive back to central Serengeti.

Dinner and overnight in the Western Corridor area, as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

• In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra begin their annual spectacular migration northwards. In their wake follow predators, lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs, with vultures circling overhead. After lunch, you will continue with a game drive in the Serengeti, heading to the gate to check out of Serengeti National Park. Afterwards, you will proceed via Ngorongoro back to Arusha/Moshi.

Dinner and overnight at your hotel in Arusha/Moshi.
