6 Days Serengeti Migration Safari – Extended Great Wildebeest

Day 1: Arusha to Central Serengeti

Your 6 Days Serengeti Migration Safari begins with a morning drive from Arusha through the scenic Ngorongoro highlands before entering Serengeti National Park.

Upon arrival, enjoy your first game drive across the central Serengeti plains. This area is known for abundant resident wildlife and is a strategic base for tracking the migration.

Evening Wildlife Viewing

Search for lions, elephants, giraffes, and herds of wildebeests before heading to your lodge or tented camp inside Serengeti.

Day 2: Southern or Western Serengeti Exploration

After breakfast, head toward the region where the migration is currently active. Depending on the season, this may be the southern plains during calving season or the western corridor as herds move toward river areas.

Full-day game drives allow close observation of predator-prey interactions and massive wildlife gatherings.

Migration Highlights

Thousands of wildebeests grazing together, zebras moving in mixed groups, and predators positioning themselves strategically near the herds.

Day 3: Northern Serengeti or Central Plains Tracking

This day focuses on deeper exploration. If the migration is in the northern region, you may head toward river areas known for dramatic crossings. If not, you continue exploring central Serengeti where predators are active year-round.

Enjoy both morning and afternoon game drives with picnic lunch in the bush.

Predator Encounters

Lions resting under acacia trees, cheetahs scanning open plains, leopards in riverine forests, and hyenas following migration routes.

Day 4: Full Day Following the Great Migration

Another full day inside Serengeti maximizes your chances of witnessing unforgettable wildlife action. Your guide tracks herd movements early in the morning to position you in the best viewing areas.

The extra time ensures a relaxed pace and allows you to explore remote sections of the park that many short safaris do not reach.

Photography Moments

Golden sunrise over endless plains, dust rising from thousands of hooves, and dramatic wildlife scenes perfect for photography.

Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After a morning game drive in Serengeti, depart toward Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The scenic drive offers more wildlife sightings along the way.

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. The crater is home to a dense concentration of animals including lions, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, and the rare black rhino.

Unique Ecosystem

The crater floor combines grasslands, wetlands, forests, and a soda lake, creating one of the most diverse wildlife habitats in Africa.

Day 6: Ngorongoro to Arusha

After breakfast, enjoy panoramic views from the crater rim before driving back to Arusha. Optional stops for scenic photos or cultural visits can be arranged along the way.
