Day 2

Actions in North Serengeti to Witness the Migration

Actions in North Serengeti to Witness the Migration

The Northern Serengeti is a land of open woodland, extending from the Seronera in the south to the Mara river in the north, marking the frontier with neighboring Kenya. During your time here, you can get to grips with a whole new set of exotic names: Bolongonja, Kogatende, Lamai and of course, the legendary Mara river.
We are now following in the footsteps of the Great Migration, great herds of thousands of zebra and wildebeest getting ready to cross the Mara into Kenya, and back again. On a daily basis, crossings cannot be guaranteed, but our driver-guides know the most likely places to witness them, one of Nature’s most awe-inspiring sights. Patience is required! And if you’re not lucky enough to witness a crossing, there’s always tomorrow; and in Northern Serengeti there is plenty more to see.

Day 3

Morning Game Drive in Northern Serengeti/Afternoon Game Drives in Central Serengeti

Morning Game Drive in Northern Serengeti/Afternoon Game Drives in Central Serengeti

Before leaving the Northern Serengeti, we take the opportunity this morning to enjoy another game drive in this incredible location. This allows us further time to wonder at the migratory herds and the dangers and challenges they face each year in their battle for survival. As well as the herd animals, you can look to the skies, perhaps finding a majestic martial eagle or one of the other birds that populate this area. As well as the thousands of migrating animals, this area also has a good population of resident wildlife, so you will never be disappointed. In the afternoon, we drive to the central part of Serengeti, where after lunch a game-drive will introduce you to this busy area. Finally, you will go to your chosen accommodation for relaxation and your evening meal.

Day 4

Morning Game Drive in Central Serengeti - Ngorongoro

Morning Game Drive in Central Serengeti - Ngorongoro

After our morning game drive, perhaps trying to find any animal that has - until now – been elusive enough to evade your eagle-eyed driver-guide, we head south-east towards Ngorongoro. If it has not already struck you with its vastness, Serengeti’s ‘endless plains’ will certainly now make a deep impression on you as we take the long, straight road which passes Simba Kopjes (famous from ‘The Lion King’) to reach Naabi Hill Gate, close to the divide between Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Here you can gather information at the gate’s visitor center, clamber up the hill for superb views back over the plains, or look out for a colorful agama lizard among the rocks. After our lunch, we check in Ngorongoro and find our way to today's accommodation. Arrive late afternoon for dinner and overnight.

Main Destination:
Karatu District
Accommodation:

  • Mid-range lodge located in Karatu (Town)

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport

From our accommodation, we set off after breakfast, a 6 am departure to reach the rim and then descend into the vast crater itself. At one side there’s the Lerai Forest, a classic mountain forest landscape with almost tropical characteristics. This is good elephant country, so keep your eyes peeled.
The crater has a population of around 120 lions, with well-defined territories; 15,000 wildebeest, 9,000 zebra, 400 hyenas, and around 50 black rhino. Many wildebeest and other herd animals are resident, benefiting from the many sources of year-round waters and are boosted by some migrators in season. Buffalo, Thomson’s gazelle and eland are also present in numbers. Hippos can be found in pools and swampland and highland birdlife is colourful and plentiful around the waters. Flamingos can often be seen in Lake Magadi, which occupies part of the crater floor. In the afternoon ascend the crater and drive back to Arusha or to Kilimanjaro Airport if you have a flight to catch.
