4-Day Serengeti Migration Safari in Tanzania via Ngorongoro

Early in the morning, you will leave Moshi or Arusha town and drive toward Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After a few hours, you will pass a supermarket and take a few minutes to shop for any personal effects you may need. Later, you will arrive in Serengeti in the afternoon.

Serengeti National Park is a large national park in northern Tanzania that stretches over 14,763 km2. It is located entirely in the eastern Mara Region, with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will proceed to the Lobo area, near the north of the Serengeti, an area typified by green rolling hills in the central Serengeti National Park. The Lobo area is where the wildebeest migration normally passes every year around July/August en route to Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve, and again in late October/November on the way back to southern Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast, we head towards the northern Serengeti National Park, also known as Wagakuria. You will enjoy a game drive en route from the Lobo area to the Wagakuria area. As we head north, good sightings of giraffes, plains game, herds of buffalo, and elephants can often be seen.

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 is normally found in the Wagakuria area from August to October, depending on rainfall patterns.

After breakfast, we will enjoy a full game drive in the Wagakuria area, which is surrounded by abundant wildlife and is home to prides of lions that can be up to 30 strong. From mid-July to October, most wildebeest cross the Mara River and pass through the northern part of the Serengeti.

During this period, the area turns into a wildlife paradise, where visitors can see and view wild animals in the Wagakuria area while enjoying the remarkable concentration of wildlife that also defines central Serengeti.

After breakfast, we proceed with a game drive in Serengeti. Central Serengeti means endless plain in the Masai language and is surrounded by leopards, lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. This park is normally the scene of the annual wildebeest and zebra migration between the Kenya Mara and Serengeti.

It includes a variety of bird species like eagles, ducks, geese, egrets, vultures, secretary birds, ibis, storks, herons, pelicans, cranes, and guinea fowl. The Serengeti National Park is arguably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, with over 3 million large mammals. About 35 species of plains animals can be seen there, including the "big 5" - Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, and Buffalo. Other common species found here include hippo, giraffe, eland, impala and other antelope types, baboons, monkeys, and a profusion of over 500 species of birds.

After lunch, you will continue with the game viewing in Serengeti, heading to the gate of Serengeti to check out of Serengeti National Park. Afterwards, you will proceed with a game drive en route via Ngorongoro to Arusha/Moshi. Dinner and overnight will be at your hotel in Arusha/Moshi.
