5-Day Tanzania Adventure -Serengeti Migration + Big Five

Early at 6:00 am (pickup time depends on your hotel location in Zanzibar), your driver will take you to the airport for your 8:00 am flight to Serengeti. You will arrive at 11:00 am and meet your guide to begin your game drive.

Serengeti National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for the great migration when millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles cross the river into Kenya’s Masai Mara. Watching this dramatic crossing, with Nile crocodiles waiting, is an unforgettable experience. Predators also follow the herds north for hunting.

You will enjoy a packed lunch at a picnic site inside the park. Dinner will be served at the lodge between 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm. Game drives end in the evening around 4:00 pm.

Today at 6:30 am, you will set out to explore the wonders of the Northern Serengeti. You'll spend the whole day on game drives, giving you plenty of opportunities to witness the great migration and spot the diverse wildlife that lives in this region. After an exciting day of adventure, you will return to your accommodation for a peaceful night's rest.

Meals for the day:

Breakfast will be served at the camp starting from 6:00 am.

Lunch will be a picnic enjoyed at a scenic spot inside the park in the afternoon.

Dinner will be served back at the camp in the evening.

Your game drive will end in the evening.

You'll wake up to the beautiful sounds of birds singing and chirping. After breakfast at the camp, you will head to Central Serengeti for a full-day game drive, giving you the chance to see Africa’s famous Big Five. In the late afternoon, you’ll return to the lodge for dinner and a restful overnight stay.

The Serengeti is famous for its rich wildlife, especially the Big Five. It has one of Africa’s largest lion populations, with over 3,000 lions roaming its plains. African leopards, though elusive, are often seen in the Seronera area, and you may spot some of the 1,000 African elephants that live here too.

You’ll rise early for breakfast before setting off on a game drive transfer to Ngorongoro Crater. The drive takes about two hours, with stops along the way to spot wildlife.

Ngorongoro’s main highlight is its vast volcanic crater—the world’s largest intact caldera—measuring 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covering 300 square kilometers. Inside, you’ll explore Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake known for black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and various water birds.

You'll enjoy a full-day game drive within the crater. In the evening, you'll return to your accommodation for dinner and a restful night. An early start allows time to enjoy lodge amenities like the swimming pool.

After breakfast at 7:00 am, you’ll drive to Tarangire National Park for an exciting game drive. In the afternoon, you’ll head back to Arusha Airstrip to catch your 4:30 pm flight back to Zanzibar.

Tarangire National Park is famous for its rich biodiversity, including large herds of elephants. The park features a variety of landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savannahs, with the Tarangire River winding through the area. You might witness a lion stalking its prey or spot leopards resting high in the trees.
