7 Days Great Migration safaris
Overview
This migration safari lets you witness the great wildebeest migration. Over 2 million wildebeests, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem in search of green pastures and safe calving ground. The biggest chance to see river crossings is around mid July to August when the wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. Also, around September and October when they cross the way around.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by one of our experienced driver guides. After a brief introduction, he will escort you to your reserved hotel in Arusha town. He will give you a warm introduction to this wonderful city and country.
After breakfast as you arranged with your guide, you will start a day by driving for 2 hours to the gate of Tarangire National Park which is famous for its big elephants. In the park you may across other mammals such as big cats, buffalos, Zebra, Giraffe, antelope and it is home of hundreds of species of the birds fly from on point to another. Tarangire national Park has the river known as “Tarangire River” which tend to flow whole the year, during the dry season the river become “attracter” for many animals which help to sport wildlife animals easy. During the lunch you will have picnic lunch while praising the beautiful of the park. After full day game drive, you will go to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular.

This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900sq miles (18,000sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
After breakfast you will have game drive to north part of Kogatende for view great migration. At evening you will have an opportunity to view great migration as wildebeest, zebras across the river. The river tends to flow all the day of august during that time you will count part of the wildebeest herds stock across the river.
Soon after healthy breakfast you will proceed with game drive and witness the “the world greatest show” where crocodiles lick their thickset jaw in anticipation in the Grumeti river. The “big cats” such as lion hunting in the long grasses on savannah, leopard on acacia trees hang the meet on the tree, cheetah lies on rocks under the sun wait for the fresh meat from wildebeest, zebras and more.
