Day 3-4

Karatu to Northern Serengeti "Kogatende" + River Crossing Experience

Karatu to Northern Serengeti "Kogatende" + River Crossing Experience

Enjoy breakfast at Eileens Trees In and drive towards the northern Serengeti, Game viewing is superb year-round in the Serengeti: the park is home to the Big Five (although rhinos are rarely seen), and is particularly renowned for its predators – leopard, cheetah, lion and hyena – which are regularly spotted. The Serengeti also plays host to the phenomenal Great Migration, which sees millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traversing the open plains of the park in search of fresh grass from seasonal rains, moving northwards of the Serengeti known as “Kogatende” into the neighboring Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, and then returning south to the Serengeti again. The dramatic scenes of huge herds on the move, crossing rivers and vast plains and pursued by predators looking for their next kill, are the stuff nature documentaries are made of. Experiencing the Great Migration is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event that most safari travelers have at the top of their bucket list.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, you may see predators such as leopards, cheetahs and lions.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater tour to Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater tour to Arusha

After a beautiful breakfast at your accommodation in the Serengeti, with your packed picnic boxes, you will be driving straight to Ngorongoro crater for the full day game drive inside the Ngorongoro crater, The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera in the world. It is a scenic showstopper that extends across an astonishing 260 square kilometres. The crater is hemmed in on all sides by sheer craggy walls that rise up to 600m above the floor. The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly stupendous and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right. But this spectacular crater also stands as one of Africa’s most alluring safari destinations, supporting solid populations of all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino and buffalo), plus a host of other iconic large mammals, in a lush and scenic landscape that frequently draws comparisons to the metaphorical “Garden of Eden”. After crater tour, ascend the crater to Arusha.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)
