Tarangire NP to Northern Serengeti

Tarangire NP to Northern Serengeti

After enjoying breakfast at your lodge, begin your transfer game drive to the northern part of Serengeti National Park to witness the great wildebeest migration. The journey itself serves as a game drive, offering opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. Your experienced guide will point out interesting sights and provide insights into the local ecosystem and animal behaviour.

You have so much to look forward to during your visit to the Northern Serengeti, one of the most scenic and wildlife-rich regions of the park. This remote area is defined by rolling hills, open grasslands, light woodlands, and the iconic Mara River, creating the perfect setting for exceptional game viewing.

Expect rewarding encounters with elephants and an abundance of big cats, including lions and leopards. Thanks to its remote location, safari routes in the northern Serengeti are generally quieter, offering a more exclusive and unhurried wildlife experience amid truly spectacular landscapes.

Depending on the season, witness vast herds of wildebeest gathering along the riverbanks, with dramatic crossings often unfolding before your eyes as crocodiles lurk and predators wait nearby.

North Serengeti-Central-Ngorongoro highlands

It may be the thrill of watching a leopard or cheetah display its precision and speed as a master hunter, or the quiet wonder of an elephant family feeding peacefully beside your vehicle, close enough to feel part of the moment. The deep roar of a lion echoing across the plains often becomes a lasting memory, as do the vast herds of buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest moving together across the horizon like a living river.

After a rewarding morning game drive in the North Serengeti, you will enjoy a scenic transfer game drive toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, with continued wildlife viewing along the way. The day concludes with an overnight stay in the cool highlands, offering comfort and reflection after an extraordinary safari experience in one of Africa’s most beautiful national parks.

Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport

Ngorongoro Crater is truly a world apart, and the first descent onto its crater floor is an experience unlike any other in Africa. As dawn breaks, soft mist rises from the caldera, unveiling steep forested walls, open grasslands, and hidden waterways where hippos wallow in silence. Within this natural sanctuary lives an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including a large population of hyenas, more than fifty resident lions, majestic elephants with impressive tusks, and the critically endangered black rhinoceros.

The sheer beauty, scale, and richness of life within the crater create moments that linger long after the safari ends. After this remarkable experience, you will be comfortably transferred to Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport, marking a seamless and memorable conclusion to your safari journey.
