5-Day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Camping Safari
This safari takes you to some of the best locations in Tanzania. You will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, and Tarangire National Park. A major attraction in the Serengeti is the great wildebeest migration that takes place there annually.
Arrival in Arusha
Upon your arrival at either Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you’ll be greeted by a representative from Masai Jungle Adventure who will escort you to your hotel. This initial day allows you to settle in and rest after your journey. Later, you’ll meet with our safari expert who will provide detailed information about the upcoming safari, including safety guidelines, wildlife expectations, and cultural insights.
Day 1: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
After an early morning breakfast, our driver will pick you up at Arusha Hotel and head to the Tarangire National Park. Along the way, you will enjoy a morning game drive and a boxed lunch. Later in the day, you will arrive at the Lilac Campsite where you will settle in, enjoy dinner and then turn in for the night to prepare for the amazing adventure ahead of you!
Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti NP
After breakfast we will head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful, high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa: Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will make our way to the central park area, which is known as the Seronera. This is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area that attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We will arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park.
Day 3: Full Day Serengeti NP
You will wake up early in the morning and have a full breakfast before starting your game drive inside the Serengeti. We will make sure that you follow the wildebeest migration during your time with us.
The Great migration varies every year. The best chance of seeing it is from June to September, while the wildebeest calving is from January to March. From July to September, your driver will be able to take you to the northern Serengeti to watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara River. A million and a half wildebeest travel throughout the year as they look for fresh grazing pasture and follow the rainfall for better water sources. After your full day game drive you will head back to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 4: Serengeti NP to Ngorongoro
Wake up early and have a cup of coffee before heading out on your morning game drive. You will watch the sunrise and then return to the campsite by 11:00am for brunch. After you finish eating you head out on another game drive en route to the Ngorongoro Crater. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After breakfast we will descend onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. You will be able to view the Big Five here. After a full game drive in the crater we will drive you to Lake Manyara. There you can see buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and many other species. All of this is set against the stunning backdrop of the Great Rift Wall. You also have the option of visiting the local Maasai people to learn about their cultural activities. Later in the evening we will drive you back to Arusha. You will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport.
