Itinerary
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 5 Days Western Corridor Migration Safari Tanzania. Dinner and overnight will be in Arusha.
After breakfast, drive toward Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro highlands and open plains. After entering the Serengeti, enjoy an en-route game drive in Central Serengeti, an area known for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and hyenas. Arrive at your camp or lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, travel west toward the Western Corridor and Grumeti River area. The route offers game viewing through changing Serengeti habitats, including plains, river valleys, and woodland areas. During the migration season, wildebeest and zebra herds may move through this region as they follow seasonal grazing patterns. Enjoy game drives around the Western Corridor while looking for migration herds, crocodiles near river systems, lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and plains wildlife.
Enjoy a morning game drive in the Western Serengeti and Grumeti River region for another chance to see migration movement and resident wildlife. After lunch, begin the journey back across the Serengeti toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The day combines wildlife viewing with scenic changes from western plains and river valleys to the crater highlands. Arrive near Ngorongoro or Karatu for dinner and overnight.
After early breakfast, descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive on the crater floor. This natural wildlife sanctuary offers strong chances to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and, with luck, black rhino.
