Serengeti 8 Days Great Migration Safari in Tanzania

Overview

This 8-day tour takes you to the famous northern circuit parks. You spend 4 days in the Serengeti, the largest and recognized for the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebras. Then, the tour goes to Tarangire National Park, smaller than the Serengeti but famous for its large elephant herds. Finally, the tour goes to the Ngorongoro Crater, an absolute highlight, with beautiful landscapes and easy game viewing. The tour ends with a short hike to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.

We will pick you up from the airport and then transfer you to the hotel with an optional tour of Arusha city. This short city tour will introduce you to Tanzania and prepare for your trip the next day. In the evening, we will brief you on the activities of the rest of the tour.

Overnight: Tulia Boutique Hotel & Spa

We will pick you up from the hotel at 8:00am, and take the 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees and boasts the country’s most significant number of elephants! You will encounter these giants up close and observe the interaction between elephant families. We will follow reported animal sightings as we do a game drive. There are plenty of herbivores like giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras. The predators (lions, cheetahs, and leopards) are more difficult to spot. Later, we will go to the river picnic site and enjoy the beautiful river view and animals while having lunch. Keep an eye out for small monkeys and baboons that will try to scare you and take your lunch! They are, however, nothing to worry about. After lunch, we will proceed with the game drive before we exit the park around 5:30pm and head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Overnight: Marera Valley Lodge

After breakfast, we will drive to Serengeti for about 6 hours (including all stops), passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We will briefly stop at the gate and view the breathtaking crater for about 20 minutes. There is an optional visit to a Masai Village to learn about the daily life of the Masai people (an additional US$10 to US$20).
Serengeti National Park Arrive late afternoon and do a game drive in Seronera (center of Serengeti). At the same time, we proceeded to do a game drive to late evening and experience the sunset in Serengeti while having a close view of the wild animals. We might be lucky and see a predator hunt! Finally, we will head to your lodge for dinner and overnight

Overnight: Marera Valley Lodge

Today, we explore the broader parts of the Serengeti as we travel northwest, and we follow the wildlife movements. After an early breakfast, we depart on a morning game drive carrying a picnic lunch.

We continue our game drive until the evening, when we return to your Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Animals can be spotted at the camp.
