Wildebeest Migration

You will wake up early in the morning and have a full breakfast before starting your game drive inside the Serengeti. We will make sure that you follow the wildebeest migration during your time 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, your driver will be able to take you to the northern Serengeti to watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara River. A million and a half wildebeest 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 will head back to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay in Central Serengeti Luxury Camp.

Serengeti NP to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago and it covers an area of 260 km². The Crater is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. After you descend into the Crater, 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.
You will be dropped off at Kilimanjaro International Airport.
