5-Day Tanzania Wildebeest Migration (July to October)

This fantastic five-day safari will allow you to explore some of the best parks in northern Tanzania. You will visit Tarangire National Park on the first day. On the second day, you will visit one of the World’s Seven Wonders (Ngorongoro Crater). On the third and fourth days, you will have a game drive in the North Serengeti to witness the great migration and explore the Serengeti’s endless plains.

Your exciting Tanzania safari adventure begins after breakfast in Arusha. Your driver-guide will pick you up and head towards Tarangire National Park, one of the most scenic and wildlife-rich parks in northern Tanzania. Famous for its massive herds of elephants and ancient baobab trees, Tarangire offers an authentic African safari experience with fewer crowds. As you enter the park, enjoy a thrilling game drive in Tarangire National Park, spotting wildlife like lions, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests along the Tarangire River, which draws animals throughout the year. Keep an eye out for rare species like the fringe-eared oryx and the elusive leopard. Enjoy a packed lunch at a scenic picnic site inside the park, then continue with an afternoon game drive. By late afternoon, head to your selected safari lodge near Tarangire for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay surrounded by nature.

After a picnic lunch inside the crater, continue your journey to the iconic Serengeti National Park, known for its endless plains and rich wildlife.

Along the way, enjoy sightings of predators such as lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles waiting near the riverbanks. Your expert guide will position you at key viewing points to witness this unforgettable wildlife spectacle. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush before continuing your game drive through this remote and wildlife-rich region. Return to Africa Safari Ikoma by late afternoon for dinner and overnight.
