7 Days Best Serengeti wildebeest Migration Safari

 

7 Days Best Serengeti wildebeest Migration Safari


Overview

Often dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World, the annual Wildebeest Migration sees more than a million wildebeest and zebras make the trip from Tanzania’s Serengeti into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This four day itinerary offers you the opportunity to experience the massive movement of animals yourself, and perhaps even catch the high drama of a river crossing in the process.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

We  will  pick  you  from  Arusha airport  or  Kilimanjaro airport for  overnight  in your  accommodation in Arusha  city.

Day 2: Arusha National park

After your  breakfast in the  hotel  around 8.00am  you will  leave  to Arusha National Park, and its  40 minute drive from Arusha town. The park has an incredible variety of fauna and flora, which cannot fail to impress.

The entrance gate leads into shadowy montane forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colorful turacos and trogons – the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen. In the midst of the forest stands the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, whose steep rocky cliffs enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo and warthog.

Further north, rolling grassy hills enclose the tranquil beauty of the Momela Lakes, each one having a different hue of green or blue. There are shallows sometimes tinged pink with thousands of flamingos. The lakes support a rich selection of resident and migrant waterfowl, and also shaggy waterbucks that display their large lyre-shaped horns on the watery fringes. Giraffes glide across the grassy hills, between grazing zebra herds, whilst pairs of wide-eyed dik-dik dart into scrubby bush like overgrown hares on spindly legs. You will be able to see buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs and zebras can all be seen year round as well as many different bird species. After  your  full day  game  drive   our  driver guide will  drive you  back to  your  hotel    for   dinner and  overnight.

Day 3: Arusha- Tarangire National Park

Day 1: pick up from the airport. Meru slopes tours and safaris representatives will pick you up from the airport as you proceed to Green mountain  lodge  in Arusha.

Day 4:  Arusha to Serengeti National Park

We will leave Arusha early in the morning and travel to Serengeti National Park. We will travel to Serengeti on a road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for animal sightings along the way. The golden savannah and endless plains, teeming with zebras, wildebeest and giraffes make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. On this day, we will enjoy a picnic lunch on Naabai Kopje (a small, rocky hill in a generally flat area), where you will have the opportunity to view the Serengeti’s famous pink-headed lizards. After lunch, we will proceed further into the plains for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Serengeti Camp, and fall asleep to the playful calls of the zebra and hyenas dinner and overnight in Serengeti heritage tented lodge

Day 5: North serengeti

We will begin the day in the heart of the Serengeti. The animals found in the Serengeti are extremely diverse so visitors will likely enjoy views of lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, water buffalo, zebras, and wildebeest. In addition, elands, hyenas, gazelles, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos and antelopes are all found within the park. Don’t worry about the time of year of your safari, because there are animals within the Serengeti all year! After the game drive, a delectable dinner will be served in Serengeti heritage tented lodge

Day 6:  Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

In the morning before we depart to Ngorongoro Crater where we will spend the night and enjoy this day marks the last day of game drive in Serengeti before we make our way to Ngorongoro Crater. After an exciting game drive full of animal sightings and a picnic lunch we will drive to the Crater. Tonight we will stay at Rhino lodge overlooking the unbroken caldera of Ngorongoro crater. The views of the sunset over the savannah are absolutely breathtaking. After a long day of adventuring, guests will enjoy a tasty dinner prepared by our friendly cook.

 

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early morning breakfast, we will hurry to Ngorongoro Crater, as it is the best time to spot animals. On this day, we will enjoy a game drive around the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests will be sure to enjoy the visit! Due to the animal “oasis” created within the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting every member of The Big five. The group comprises some of the strongest animals in Africa – the ferocious lion, the giant elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino and the mighty water buffalo. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. Beautiful storks, ibis, and cranes are popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to miss. After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, we will finally start our journey back to Arusha.
