9 DAYS TANZANIA MIGRATION SAFARI

Arriving into Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be transferred into your accommodation in Arusha to rest.

Fly this morning from Arusha to Kuro airstrip, your gateway to Tarangire National Park. Spend the afternoon at leisure or enjoying safari activities.

Dotted with majestic baobab trees, Tarangire National Park is especially famous for its huge herds of elephants and buffaloes, as well as migratory wildlife, congregating by the river especially during the dry season (Jun-Sep). Depending on your chosen property, enjoy safari game drives, night drives or walking safaris.

After your morning safari, we transfer to Kuro airstrip for your flight to Manyara. On arrival, we drive to your accommodation in the greater Ngorongoro area. This spectacular crater formed from a collapsed volcano provides stunning backdrop to the densest game population in Africa.

Today, we descend into the crater for a full day game drive, greeted with large numbers of grazing herbivores and the predators which are attracted by this abundant supply of prey. It is not uncommon to spot the Big Five in one day, including the endangered black rhinos! A large flock of flamingos also call home to the nearby Lake Magadi. Optional: Banquet Dining at Ngorongoro Crater Floor with KopeLion Conservative Team (weather-dependent and must be booked at least 1 month in advance).

Today, we fly from Manyara airstrip to a remote camp in Serengeti. Easily the most stunning park in Africa, the park is home to millions of hoofed animals and super predators.

The annual Great Migration is a spectacle of millions of wildebeests along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles. Through our in-depth long-term experience, we have carefully handpicked the right lodge to maximize your chance of witnessing nature’s greatest wildlife show:

• South / Central (Nov-Mar): Following the rain pattern, the herds start to move further southwards through the central plains. At the peak of the calving season around late January and early March, over 8,000 wildebeests are born daily, attracting big cats to prey on the vulnerable calves.
• Northwest (Jul-Aug): This is the time of the famous river crossings, with super-predators and crocodiles in attendance.
• Northeast (Sep-Oct): Driven by instinct to find fresh grazing, the herds split into groups and re-enter from Mara side to the Serengeti Plain.

Transfer to the airstrip for your fly back to Kilimanjaro, where you will connect to your return flight home.
