4-Day Serengeti Migration Safari with Mara River and Fly Back to Arusha

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 stop at a supermarket and take a few minutes to shop for any personal items you may need.

Later, you will arrive in the 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 endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.

You will then proceed to the Lobo area, located north of Seronera and typified by green rolling hills in the central Serengeti. The Lobo area is where the wildebeest migration normally passes each year around July and August en route to Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve, and again in late October and November on the way back to the southern Serengeti.

After breakfast, you will head towards the northern Serengeti National Park, to the Wagakuria area. You will enjoy a game drive en route from the Lobo area to Wagakuria.

As you travel north, good sightings of giraffes, plains game, herds of buffalo, and elephants can often be seen. You will arrive in time for lunch at the lodge, and after lunch, continue with an afternoon game drive in the area.

The wildebeest migration can normally be found in the Wagakuria area from August to October, depending on rainfall patterns. A long stretch of the Mara River runs through the northern Serengeti National Park, and it provides the migration with its most difficult obstacle. Witnessing the frantic herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River is amazing.

After breakfast, you will enjoy a full game drive in the Wagakuria area, which is surrounded by abundant wildlife and is home to lion prides that can be up to 30 strong.

From mid-July to October, animals pass through the Mara River across the northern part of the Serengeti, and the area turns into a wildlife paradise. Visitors can see many animals in the Wagakuria area while enjoying the rich wildlife experience of the Serengeti.

After breakfast, you will proceed early in the morning for a game drive in Kogatende in the northern Serengeti.

Around mid-morning, you will join a scheduled flight from Kogatende Airstrip to Arusha Airport. Upon arrival at Arusha Airport, you will meet your driver, who will drive you back to Arusha town.

Once in Arusha, you will have lunch and then be taken to the hotel.
