The itinerary combines Tarangire National Park, Ndutu, the Serengeti ecosystem, and Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire adds elephants and baobab landscapes, Ndutu offers migration herds and predators, while Ngorongoro Crater provides one of Tanzania’s strongest Big Five safari experiences. With Serengeti Wild Tours, this 6 Days Ndutu Migration Safari in Tanzania gives you a focused, private, and well-balanced northern Tanzania safari.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, where your Serengeti Wild Tours representative will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you may relax at the hotel or meet your guide for a short briefing about the 6 Days Ndutu Migration Safari Tanzania. Dinner and overnight will be in Arusha.
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for your first wildlife experience. Tarangire is known for large elephant herds, baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and classic savannah landscapes. During the game drive, look for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions, and many bird species. Later, continue to your lodge or camp for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, travel toward the Ndutu area in the Southern Serengeti ecosystem. The route passes through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and beautiful highland scenery before reaching the open Ndutu plains. During the migration season, this area can hold large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles. Enjoy an afternoon game drive while looking for migration herds, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and other wildlife.
Spend a full day exploring Ndutu and the surrounding Southern Serengeti plains. Your guide will follow herd movement, predator activity, and recent sightings to select the best game drive areas. This is one of the best regions for calving season, large herds, cheetah sightings, lion activity, hyenas, and open-plains photography. The day gives you enough time to enjoy the rhythm of the Great Migration in Ndutu.
Enjoy another morning game drive in Ndutu for more chances to see migration herds and predator behavior. After lunch, continue toward the Ngorongoro highlands. The scenery changes from open plains to volcanic landscapes and green highland views. Arrive near Ngorongoro or Karatu for dinner and overnight, ready for the crater safari the next morning.
After early breakfast, descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive on the crater floor. This wildlife-rich area offers strong chances to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and, with luck, black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater before ascending the crater wall and driving back to Arusha. This marks the end of your 6 Days Ndutu Migration Safari Tanzania.
