Arusha to Northern Serengeti

Pick up early in the morning at the hotel around 7:00 a.m. and drive to the Northern Serengeti National Park for your Great Migration Safaris, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, you descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
Head to the Central Park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. You arrive in time for lunch at Nabi gate and enjoy an afternoon en-route game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight at the Campsite or Tented Lodge at extra cost.
