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 6 Days Western Corridor Great Migration Safari. Dinner and overnight will be in Arusha.
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for your first game drive. Tarangire is known for large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and classic savannah scenery. 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 Serengeti National Park through the Ngorongoro highlands and wide open landscapes. After entering the Serengeti, enjoy an en-route game drive in Central Serengeti. This area is excellent for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, hyenas, and other resident wildlife. Arrive at your Serengeti camp or lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, drive west toward the Western Corridor and Grumeti River region. This route offers game viewing across changing Serengeti habitats, including open plains, river valleys, woodlands, and seasonal migration areas. During the Western Corridor migration season, large wildebeest and zebra herds may move through the area. Enjoy game drives while looking for migration herds, crocodiles near river habitats, lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and plains wildlife.
Enjoy a morning game drive in the Western Serengeti and Grumeti River area 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 scenic travel with wildlife viewing as the landscape 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.
