Lake Manyara – Lake Natron
Following breakfast, you are going to Lake Natron. You'll leave the paved road just past Mto wa Mbu, and the trip continues on winding, adventurous slopes along the East African Rift Valley. The Ol Doinyo Lengai, a sacred mountain to the Maasai people, and their communities are passed by on the route. The Maasai village of Ngare Sero is not far from the lake once it comes into view. Approximately 2.5 million dwarf flamingos use the outlet Lake Natron as a regular nesting habitat. The lake is home to an amazing array of birds. The lake's striking reddish-brown to purple-violet color is caused by unicellular algae and bacteria that thrive in the highly saline water. In Africa, the region surrounding Lake Natron is among the most stunning and pristine. After hiking to the lake, you will stop at the neighboring waterfalls, which are a veritable oasis with fantastic swimming holes. You will spend the night at Lake Natron's African Safari Camp.

Lake Natron – Northern Serengeti National Park
Following an early morning meal, you will make your way to the Serengeti. It climbs the Rift Valley's daring slopes and reaches the Serengeti's broad grasslands. The park is the oldest in Tanzania, having been established in 1951. This is the center of a massive ecosystem with a distinct species-rich animal world. One of the biggest natural wildlife migration systems is found in the Serengeti National Park, together with the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Over 1.4 million gnus, nearly 300,000 Thomson's gazelles, roughly 200,000 zebras, and thousands of topis migrate annually between the three aforementioned conservation zones during the rainy seasons to the areas with the greener and lusher meadows. The Serengeti is the national park with the greatest diversity of species in the world, home to over 3 million bigger mammals.

Day 5
Northern Serengeti National Park – Full-Day Game Drives
Northern Serengeti National Park – Full-Day Game Drives
You will go on a full-day game drive in the Mara region to witness the huge migration after breakfast. There is an abnormally high concentration of resident fauna in the Wagakuria area. The main attraction is the Mara River, where there's a good possibility you'll see the herds traveling north one day and then returning south a few days later. Note that it is sometimes luck-based and might be quite difficult to witness crossing. A herd is observed near the river; it takes them a few days to decide to cross. Like Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, this location is breathtaking and features kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation, and wide plains.
