An epic Classic/Standard journey into the heart of the Great Wildebeest Migration.
This unforgettable safari takes you deep into the Serengeti, one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries, to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration. Over five days, you’ll explore vast open plains, track the dramatic movements of millions of wildebeest and zebras, and witness predators in action. The itinerary is crafted to give you ample time in the Serengeti — especially during the high migration season — to maximize your chances of seeing river crossings, large predator encounters, and herds on the move. You’ll also descend into the famous Ngorongoro Crater, home to a dense concentration of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
Your adventure begins early in the morning as your guide picks you up from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. The journey to Serengeti National Park is an experience in itself — you’ll pass through the lush highlands of Karatu and traverse the misty Ngorongoro Conservation Area, catching glimpses of Maasai bomas, acacia-dotted landscapes, and wildlife along the way.
By midday, you’ll descend onto the endless golden plains of the Serengeti, entering through Naabi Hill Gate. After a picnic lunch, you’ll enjoy your first game drive en route to your lodge or tented camp. As the sun sets over the savannah, keep your eyes peeled for elephants, giraffes, big cats, and herds of wildebeest grazing under the warm African sky.
Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the vast Serengeti. You’ll rise with the sun and head out for a full day of adventure, with picnic lunch boxes allowing you to roam deep into the migration route. This is where the magic happens: vast herds of wildebeest stretch across the plains, accompanied by zebras and gazelles.
Depending on the season and movement, your guide will lead you to the best locations to witness thrilling predator-prey interactions, possible river crossings, and dramatic hunting scenes. The day is rich with photography opportunities and quiet moments to soak in the grandeur of the ecosystem.
To give you more chances to witness the Great Migration in action, this extra day in the Serengeti allows you to go even deeper into the northern or western corridor of the park. This is where the Mara or Grumeti Rivers become the center stage for one of nature’s most dangerous journeys — wildebeest braving crocodile-infested waters while lions and hyenas stalk the edges.
You’ll spend the day tracking migration patterns, enjoying scenic bush landscapes, and perhaps stopping for a peaceful break under an acacia tree. The extended stay in the Serengeti ensures a deeper connection with this iconic land and its wildlife.
After a relaxed breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive as you make your way out of Serengeti, still scanning the horizon for animals you may have missed. On your journey toward Ngorongoro, you’ll pass more wildlife and take in the striking contrasts of terrain—from flat plains to rolling highlands.
By late afternoon, you’ll reach the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and overnight at a lodge perched on the crater rim, offering stunning views into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Get some rest — tomorrow is a special day.
After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for one of the most concentrated wildlife experiences on Earth. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to nearly 30,000 animals including lions, elephants, buffaloes, flamingos, and the rare black rhino.
You’ll enjoy a half-day game drive across the crater floor with a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, surrounded by stunning vistas and wildlife at every turn. After an enriching safari experience, begin your scenic return to Arusha or Moshi, where your 5-day adventure concludes.

Trip of a lifetime! - Booking a safari is somewhat of a daunting task as you are putting a lot of faith and trust in the company or person you book with. There are... read more numerous details that require attention and you are trusting that they will be arranged to your satisfaction. Since this type of travel makes me a bit nervous, I am certainly happy we had Chris as our guide. There are other companies that will book your trip but then contract another company to guide the trip, leaving you to wonder who you will actually be with on your safari. This is not the case with Animalia, Chris owns and operates Animalia and he handles all the arrangements as well as being your guide for the entire trip. Chris did a fantastic job with all the details and I was grateful for his advice on locations to visit, it quickly became clear he is a very experienced guide. We booked a 6 day trip that included Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and cultural visits with the Masai, Hedzabe, and Datoga tribes. We flew into Kilimanjaro Airport and Chris promptly picked us up. He thoroughly explained all the details to us and briefed the next day’s events every evening. Highlights for us were the Serengeti and the Acacia Central Camp, really enjoyed the experience. Rest assured whatever locations you choose, you are in good hands with Chris and Animalia!

We visited Tarangire and Serengeti national... read more parks, the Ngorongoro Crater, and also had a local cultural experience with some tribes. From the hotels, the food, and the itinerary, everything was absolutely perfect! My favorite was the lodging in the middle of the Serengeti National Park. While we were safely in our camp at night we could hear the wildebeests and lions. It was so cool! Chris goes the extra mile to ensure guests are happy and having the best experience. Don’t look anywhere else if you want to make sure you have the best safari in Tanzania!!
BEST SAFARI GUIDE IN TANZANIA!!! - BEST SAFARI GUIDE IN TANZANIA!!!! After months of research, my family decided to book a 6-day safari and cultural experience with Chris and it was the absolute best decision we... read more made! This was a once in a lifetime trip and Chris contributed to the unforgettable experience. Communication from the very beginning starting with the planning stage was always clear, honest, and upfront. Chris always responded in a timely manner. From the time he picked us up at the airport to the last day when he dropped us off, he took great care of us. I was so impressed how organized the trip was. Chris took extra time preparing before we arrived in Tanzania to make sure everything went smoothly during our Safari.
During the game drives, Chris made sure we had the opportunity to see so many animals. He got us up close and personal, (safely inside the vehicle) to so many! From a pride of lions to a leopard in the tree with its prey (plus many more types of animals), it was all amazing! Chris is extremely knowledgeable in the animal wildlife and geographical landscape of Tanzania. I don’t think there was a question he didn’t know the answer to. We also had the opportunity to visit 3 different tribes during our trip which I highly recommend. A couple in which many tour guides do not offer as an option to tourists, but Chris does! Don’t hesitate in booking a trek or safari with Animalia, I promise you will not regret it!!!
