Day 1: Arusha/Moshi to Serengeti National Park

Your safari begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. Enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, spotting Maasai homesteads, wildlife, and sweeping views.

After entering Serengeti via Naabi Hill Gate, enjoy a picnic lunch, then start your first game drive across the vast plains. Expect to spot elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, hyenas, and the first herds of migrating wildebeest.

Day 2: Full-Day Wildlife Safari in Central Serengeti

Wake up early for a full day in the Central Serengeti, one of the best locations for year-round wildlife viewing. With your picnic lunch packed, you’ll explore from sunrise to late afternoon.

Search for predator action — lions stalking prey, cheetahs sprinting, and leopards lounging in sausage trees. Large migration herds may also be passing through depending on the season.

Day 3: Full Serengeti Game Drive – Tracking the Migration

Today you will venture deeper into the Serengeti, following the Great Migration routes. Depending on the season, your guide may lead you toward the Western Corridor (Grumeti River) or Northern Serengeti (Mara River), where dramatic river crossings often occur.

Enjoy spectacular views of endless plains filled with wildlife and the unforgettable sounds of thousands of hooves moving as one.

Overnight: Serengeti (Lodge or Tented Camp)

Day 4: Another Full Day in Serengeti (Northern or Western Corridor)

This additional day maximizes your chances of witnessing the most iconic migration scenes. Spend the day exploring prime migration zones — watching herds gather nervously at riverbanks, crocodiles lurking in muddy waters, and predators waiting for the moment to strike.

With more time on the plains, you are guaranteed richer wildlife encounters and top-tier photography opportunities.

Enjoy a relaxed morning game drive as you exit Serengeti, searching for wildlife you may have missed. The route is rich with scenery — from golden grasslands to the raised highlands of Ngorongoro.

Arrive at the crater rim by late afternoon and enjoy breathtaking views of this natural wonder as the sun sets behind the caldera.
