Great Migration Viewing in Western Serengeti (Corridor) & Overnight

This entire day is set aside for game drives in the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest. The animals’ game viewing is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. From April to June, the animals move from the southern region, dominated by grassland, to the west, dominated by hills and woodland.

Lunch: Picnic in the wilderness.
During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the west. Apart from the migrating herds, you may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, hyena, crocodile, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

Evening: After an unforgettable day, you'll return to our carefully selected lodge for relaxation, dinner, and our overnight sleep on The Endless Plain.

Early Morning Game Drive in Serengeti After Transfer to Ngorongoro Crater for Game Viewing

In the morning, you'll drive through the Ngorongoro Crater before descending 610 meters down to the grasslands of the crater floor, an area of about 265 square kilometers. Despite its small size, the Crater is a Big Five country, and the openness of the terrain means easy and rewarding wildlife viewing. You will spend the day exploring the crater floor, stopping to picnic on the grasslands amidst the grazing herds. Formed by a massive volcanic eruption, the world’s largest intact and unflooded caldera provides a year-round home to an astonishing 25,000 large mammals, including black rhino, wildebeest, and zebra.

The Crater’s forests shelter elephants and buffalo, and its wetlands are home to hippos and flamingos. After lunch, you'll leave the crater behind and drive to the Serengeti National Park.

Afternoon: You’ll reach our carefully selected tented camp by late evening. You’ll have time to settle in before dinner.
