Overview

Serengeti Wildebeests Migration is a display of natural wonders with over two million wildebeests, zebras, and antelope travelling over 450 miles across the plain to ensure their survival, unaware that there's danger presented by the stalking lions and cheetahs among other predators of the wildlife. Witness huge crocodiles of the Mara River as they wait for the herbivorous to cross the swollen Mara river and enter into Maasai Mara Game Reserve from Serengeti National Park.

River crossing is at its height in August and lasts until September. The mega herds move direct as they follow the rain, and head to greener pastures. The height of action in Kogatende is at its peak during August.

After breakfast, transfer to Arusha airstrip for your flight to Serengeti North which will depart around 7am and arrive at 10am for a game drive in Northern Mara. Serengeti, among other incredible wildlife and stunning views is famed for the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundred thousands of zebras, a frenzied bout of territorial conquests and mating happening from July-October. Witness an actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.
Day 3: Serengeti North (Kogatende)
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Acacia Migration Camp (Luxury)
Serengeti National Park
  • 1d
After breakfast, we depart for Serengeti North for a game drive viewing the great migration. River crossings at Kogatende starts in August as the mega herd settles into the area. Between August- October, game viewing is at its best with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses.
Day 4: Serengeti North (Kogatende)
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Acacia Migration Camp (Luxury)
Serengeti National Park
  • 1d
After breakfast, we will proceed for a full day game drive viewing the great migration at Mara area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area. The key feature is the Mara River and there is a great chance to see the herds cross the Mara River to the north on one day and back south a few days later. Please note that it can be very difficult to witness crossing and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to river and only decide to cross a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya's Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
Day 5: Serengeti National Park (Central Seronera)
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Serengeti Acacia Tented Camp
Serengeti National Park
  • 1d
After breakfast at the camp, we drive to Serengeti central, Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park and a world heritage site. The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers an amazing game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.

  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Serengeti Acacia Tented Camp
Serengeti National Park

Apart from the large mammals, Serengeti is also home to gaudy agama lizards; Rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite koppies. Wide varieties of dung beetle were found, and around 500 bird species have been recoded ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
Day 7: Serengeti Central (Cental Seronera)
  • 1 stop
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks
  • Accommodation: Serengeti Acacia Tented Camp
Serengeti National Park
  • 1d
This is another full day game drive at Serengeti National Park, known for its healthy population of resident wildlife, particularly the "big five". Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold (over 3,000 lions) the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park. African Elephant: the herds are recovering from population lows in the 1980s caused by poaching and are largely located in the northern regions of the park. African Buffalo: considered by many to be the most dangerous of the big five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths in Africa. Rhinoceros: this may refer to either black or white rhinoceros. Among big five game hunters, the black rhinoceros is preferred, although it is now critically endangered.
