5-Day Wonderful Great Migration at Mara River Crossing

You'll be picked up from your lodge and start a beautiful journey to Tarangire National Park while carrying lunch boxes.

Tarangire National Park is famous for its massive baobabs and large herds of elephants. Tarangire National Park is small but still home to a significant wildlife population with a density of wildlife matched only by Ngorongoro. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch during your safari drive and have plenty of time to explore the national park, stop to observe the wildlife, and take photos. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Marera Valley Lodge.

After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a chance to stop and see the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. You will then transit through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering the park's south.

The Serengeti is genuinely spectacular! It is famous for its vast open grasslands, allowing excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti boasts an abundance of wildlife, such as impalas, buffaloes, crocodiles, and hippos. In addition to the iconic landscapes, you have a good chance of encountering predators, and you may see lions, cheetahs, and leopards. After your game drive, you will head towards your accommodation in time for dinner.

After breakfast, you will wind through the Serengeti towards the northern region, stopping to experience more wonder on the way.

While it boasts abundant wildlife, the Serengeti is best known for its annual great migration. During the migration, vast numbers of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month; you just need to know where to look! At this time of year, the migration usually is in the Northern Serengeti.

On this day, you will have an early breakfast at the camp and then drive to enjoy fully guided game drives following the wildebeests' migrations in the Northern part of the Serengeti.

Following your picnic lunch, you will proceed with evening game drives.

Dinner and an overnight stay will be in your camp at Mbuni Tented Camp

After breakfast, you'll descend the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of game drives and beautiful scenery. Once you finish the game drives, we will transfer you to Arusha, where you will conclude your safari.

Ngorongoro Crater is a pristine wilderness concealed by the steep volcanic walls, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species.

After your game drive, you will be dropped off at a place you choose. We hope you have enjoyed your adventure with Naelly African Safari
