Wake up to the sounds of the African wilderness and enjoy breakfast before setting out for an exciting day of wildlife exploration.

Today is dedicated to tracking the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration. Accompanied by your experienced safari guide, explore the Serengeti according to the seasonal movements of the herds.

Depending on the time of year, your route may focus on the southern plains during the calving season, the western corridor during the herds’ northward movement, or the northern Serengeti during the Mara River crossing season.

Watch thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving across the grasslands, while predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas follow the herds. If conditions are favorable, you may witness dramatic river crossings, although these natural events cannot be guaranteed.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush and continue your game drive into the afternoon, capturing memorable photographs of Tanzania’s remarkable wildlife.

Return to camp for dinner and overnight.

Begin the day with an early morning game drive, when the cooler temperatures often encourage wildlife activity. Search for predators returning from their nighttime hunts, grazing herds, and the Serengeti’s remarkable birdlife.

After breakfast or your morning game drive, begin the scenic journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy changing landscapes as the open Serengeti plains give way to the beautiful highlands.

Arrive at Ngorongoro Simba Campsite on the crater rim, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and fresh highland air.

Spend the evening relaxing at camp, enjoying dinner, and preparing for the following day’s unforgettable crater exploration.

After an early breakfast, descend into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game drive in one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations.

Explore the crater floor, a diverse ecosystem of grasslands, wetlands, woodland, and a soda lake. The area supports an impressive concentration of wildlife, offering excellent opportunities to search for the Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros.

Look out for grazing zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and numerous bird species. With luck, you may also encounter the rare black rhinoceros in its natural habitat.
