Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by your safari guide and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. This vibrant town, set against the majestic backdrop of Mount Meru, serves as the perfect starting point for your adventure.

If time allows, you might explore the local markets, visit a nearby cultural center, or simply enjoy the tranquil atmosphere at your hotel. Prepare for an exciting journey ahead as you rest up for the days to come.
After breakfast, you’ll catch a short flight from Arusha to the heart of the Serengeti— the central Serengeti, known as the Seronera region. This area is famous for its year-round wildlife and is a crucial part of the migration route. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the sight of vast plains teeming with wildlife. Your guide will take you on an afternoon game drive, where you’ll have your first chance to see the herds of wildebeest, zebras, and various predators that make the Serengeti so renowned. The Seronera River attracts a myriad of animals, making it an ideal spot for game viewing. After an exhilarating day, you’ll head to your lodge or tented camp in the central Serengeti for a night surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
Today, you’ll spend the entire day exploring the central Serengeti. With its diverse landscapes, including rolling plains, acacia woodlands, and rocky kopjes, this region offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in Tanzania. The area is a predator's paradise, and you might see lions lounging on the kopjes, leopards resting in trees, and cheetahs scanning the plains for prey. The central Serengeti is also a key area for the migration, and you’ll likely encounter large herds of wildebeest and zebras as they make their way through the park. A picnic lunch will allow you to stay close to the action throughout the day. In the evening, you’ll return to your camp or lodge to relax and enjoy a delicious dinner.
After an early breakfast, you’ll drive to the northern Serengeti, a region famous for the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration. The journey north takes you through stunning landscapes, offering plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. As you approach the Mara River, the anticipation builds, as this area is where the herds face one of their greatest challenges—crossing the crocodile-infested waters. You’ll spend the afternoon on a game drive, positioning yourself at potential crossing points to witness this thrilling event. Even if you don’t catch a crossing, the northern Serengeti is rich in wildlife, and you’ll likely see elephants, giraffes, and predators like lions and leopards. After a day filled with excitement, you’ll head to your camp or lodge in the northern Serengeti for the night.
Today is dedicated to exploring the northern Serengeti and the Mara River. Your guide will take you to strategic locations along the river, where you’ll wait for the herds to gather and prepare for their daring crossing. The sight of thousands of animals plunging into the river, battling strong currents and evading predators, is one of the most dramatic moments of the migration. Beyond the river crossings, the northern Serengeti is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, buffalo, and antelope. A bush lunch will keep you close to the action, ensuring you don’t miss a moment. In the evening, return to your camp or lodge, where you can reflect on the day’s incredible experiences around a campfire.
On your final day, enjoy a last morning game drive in the northern Serengeti, soaking in the final sights and sounds of the wilderness. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the nearby airstrip for your flight back to Arusha.
