Tarangire to Serengeti National Park via the crater and Ngorongoro

In the early morning, go on an en-route game drive to Serengeti with lunch inside the Jeep. On the way, you will see the beautiful Rift Valley and have a view of the Ngorongoro Crater. You will arrive at around 15h00. Enjoy a late game drive in Central Serengeti and view the sunset. You will have dinner and overnight at the Seronera campsite inside Serengeti.

Major attractions in Serengeti are the endless plains and the great wildebeest migration which involves 1.5 million herbivores and predators. They move from one area to another through almost all parts of the Serengeti because of drought. Our driver guide will make sure that you see a part of the wildebeest migration, the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti’s wildebeest accompanied by large numbers of zebra and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala. After a late game drive, you will drive back to your campsite.

You will wake up early, have a full breakfast, and then start a full-day game drive in the key areas of Serengeti. We will make sure that you follow the wildebeest migration during your tour with us. The great migration varies every year. The best chance of seeing it is from June to September, while the wildebeest calving is from January to March. From July to September, our driver will take you to Northern Serengeti where you'll be able to see them crossing the Mara River.

A million and a half of these majestic animals travel throughout the year as they look for fresh grazing pasture and follow the rainfall for better water sources. After your full-day game drive, you head back to your accommodation for dinner and overnight in your campsite.
