12 Days/ 11 Nights High End Western Corridor Migration Game Package Safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti)

After arrival at the airport (Kilimanjaro / Arusha), your private driver guide will pick you up at the airport and transfer you to your accommodation for dinner and overnight awaiting for your safari departure on the following day.

Early morning after breakfast, we drive to Arusha Airport to catch a flight at 1000hrs and fly to the airstrip in Tarangire National Park where you will arrive at 1055hrs. The Park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it.  This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including elephant grass, acacia woodlands and lush groundwater forest. The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe, bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than anywhere else on the planet!

After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury partner lodges for dinner and overnight.

You will spend 3 nights at Oliver’s Camp with 3 days inside Tarangire National Park.

Early morning after breakfast, we check out at the lodge and drive straight to Kuro airstrip to catch a flight at 0815hrs and fly to Manyara airstrip (arriving at 0835hrs) whereby you will be picked up by your driver and drive straight to Ngorongoro Highlands at your accommodation for relaxation. Lunch will be taken on the way to your accommodation.

In the late afternoon or according to time of your choosing, you will do a walking activity on the rim of the crater where you will be taken by your driver guide to the starting point where you will meet your armed ranger and start the walk which is approximately 1-2 hours. You will start your walk on the eastern side of the crater. The track takes you through thick forests accompanied by an armed ranger around the contours of the Ngorongoro Crater rim with stunning views of the crater floor below. You walk on an easy animal trail and may encounter local Masaai with cattle.

After the activity, you will drive straight to your hotel for dinner and overnight.

After early breakfast, you will descend down the crater which is almost 600m deep.

The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve which is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down the into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

After Lunch and an extensive game drive inside the crater, we head for our luxury lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight stay.

Early morning after breakfast, we will checkout at the accommodation on the crater’s rim and drive to Manyara airstrip where you will catch your flight at 1100hrs to Seronera Airstrip inside Serengeti where we will reach at around 1205hrs, where you will be met by your driver from the lodge who will give you a short brief before you proceed with your game drive en-route to our luxury accommodation in the heart of Serengeti for relaxation at the pool, drinks, dinner and overnight.

Early morning after breakfast, we continue with our game drive in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest National Park and it is also one of the oldest ecosystems on earth.  Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration.  Vast numbers of wildebeest; accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing.  The precise timing of the Migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.

After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury lodges for dinner and overnight.

You will spend 2 nights at Four Seasons Serengeti Safari Lodge.

Early morning after breakfast, we will drive to Seronera airstrip and catch a flight at 1000hrs to Kogatende and arrive at 1030hrs at Grumeti airstrip. Upon arrival, you will be met by your driver guide who will brief you and proceed with game viewing on the western Serengeti following the great migration of wildebeests and Zebras.

Around the end of April, May and June, a vast army of wildebeests along with its partners, zebras, elands and gazelles mill around the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, south of the Grumeti River. Harassed behind by lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas and ahead by giant Nile crocodiles, many hundreds perish as some hazard the river crossing while others detour it. But the beauty of the landscape, stretching without end beneath an infinite sky on a Serengeti West Safari, changes something within the watcher, who becomes more aware of the place of humankind within the drama of the animal world.

After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury partner tented camp for dinner and overnight.

You will spend a total of 3 nights on the western corridor.

After breakfast and a bit of relaxation at your accommodation in Serengeti, you will be transferred straight to Grumeti airstrip to catch your flight at 1015hrs and fly to Arusha airport where you will reach at around 1220hrs. Upon arrival at the airport in Arusha, one of our representatives will meet you and receive feedback regarding your trip. If you have a destination of your choice e.g. Zanzibar, we will book that flight for you or you can choose to book on your own. If you are flying back home, we will drive you to Kilimanjaro International Airport to catch your flight.

This marks the end of your epic adventure.
