This 5 Days Serengeti Migration Safari takes you on a thrilling journey to witness one of the world’s most incredible wildlife spectacles — the Great Migration at the Mara River. You will explore both the central and northern parts of Serengeti, where thousands of wildebeests and zebras attempt the dangerous river crossing while predators lie in wait. This unforgettable adventure also includes a visit to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater for a chance to spot the Big Five.
You will be welcomed at Kilimanjaro International Airport by our professional driver-guide holding a signboard with your name. From here, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Take your time to relax after your international flight and enjoy dinner at the lodge.
After breakfast, your safari adventure begins with a scenic drive or flight to the heart of the Serengeti — Seronera Valley. This region is well-known for its rich wildlife and iconic landscapes of open plains dotted with acacia trees and granite kopjes.
As you enter the park, you’ll begin your first game drive. Keep your eyes open for:
Herds of wildebeests and zebras
Lazy lions basking on rocks
Leopards resting in sausage trees
Giraffes, elephants, and more
After a thrilling afternoon game drive, you’ll head to your lodge or tented camp in central Serengeti for dinner and overnight.
Today after breakfast, enjoy a slow game drive as you head north toward the Mara River region, where the Great Migration is in full action during this season. This area is the main stage for dramatic river crossings.
As you drive through various zones of Serengeti, you’ll pass through beautiful savannahs and woodlands. Along the way, expect to see:
Hunting cheetahs and hyenas
Massive elephant families
Colorful bird species
Arrive at your camp near the Mara River in time for an afternoon game drive before settling in for dinner and a peaceful night in the wilderness.
This day is fully dedicated to exploring the northern Serengeti, especially around the Mara River. You’ll spend the day watching thousands of wildebeests gather along the riverbank — hesitant, yet determined to cross. This is nature at its rawest.
With patience and luck, you may witness:
The dramatic river crossing as wildebeests jump into crocodile-infested waters
Lions and leopards waiting in ambush
Scavengers like vultures circling overhead
You will enjoy both morning and afternoon game drives and return to camp for meals and overnight.
After breakfast, begin your journey back to the central Serengeti, continuing your wildlife search along the way. This part of the park offers a different landscape and is ideal for seeing resident animals that don’t follow the migration — such as:
Hippos in pools
Resident lion prides
Ostriches and warthogs
Arrive at your lodge in the late afternoon for dinner and rest.
On your last day, wake up early for a sunrise game drive in central Serengeti. After breakfast, begin your journey to Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a game drive en route.
You will descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s largest unbroken calderas and a haven for wildlife. Enjoy a game drive on the crater floor and look out for:
Black rhinos grazing
Large groups of buffalo and elephants
Flamingos on the lake
Lions resting near the road
After your picnic lunch in the crater, drive back toward Arusha in the late afternoon, marking the end of your unforgettable 5-day Serengeti Migration Safari.
