Overview

This 7 days Serengeti Great Migration safari is designed for travellers who want a deeper wildlife experience in Northern Tanzania, with more time in the Serengeti than a standard short safari. The itinerary begins in Arusha, continues to Serengeti National Park, and follows the best available migration areas according to the season. Depending on travel dates, the route can focus on the Southern Serengeti and Ndutu area during calving season, the Western Corridor during movement toward the Grumeti area, or Northern Serengeti for the Mara River crossing season. The safari also includes the Ngorongoro Crater, giving guests a strong chance to experience Big Five wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and one of Tanzania’s most rewarding crater-floor game drives. Fidelity Safaris operates this private Serengeti Great Migration safari with a dedicated 4x4 vehicle, an experienced English-speaking guide, and flexible lodge or tented camp options.

Day 2

Arusha to Central Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, depart from Arusha and travel toward Serengeti National Park. The drive passes through the Ngorongoro highlands before descending toward the Serengeti plains. On arrival, begin your first Serengeti game drive, looking for lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, zebras, antelopes, and other wildlife. Dinner and overnight will be at a lodge or tented camp in the Central Serengeti area.

Day 3

Central Serengeti Game Drives

Spend the day exploring Central Serengeti, a rewarding wildlife area known for open plains, kopjes, resident big cats, and year-round game viewing. Your guide will plan the day according to wildlife movement, weather, and sightings. This day gives you more time to search for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, hyenas, wildebeest, zebras, and a wide range of birdlife.

Day 4

Central Serengeti to Seasonal Migration Area

After breakfast, continue toward the best seasonal migration area. Depending on the month, this may be Northern Serengeti for river crossing possibilities, Southern Serengeti and Ndutu for calving season, or the Western Serengeti corridor during herd movement. Enjoy game viewing en route as the landscape changes and wildlife patterns shift across the Serengeti ecosystem.

Day 5

Full-Day Serengeti Great Migration Safari

Enjoy a full day focused on the Serengeti Great Migration safari experience. Your guide will follow the best available sightings while respecting park rules and wildlife movement. Depending on the season, you may see large wildebeest and zebra herds, predator activity, river crossing areas, calving plains, or dramatic open-landscape migration scenes. This is the main wildlife photography day of the itinerary.

Day 6

Serengeti Game Drive and Transfer to Ngorongoro Area

Begin with a morning game drive in the Serengeti, then travel toward the Ngorongoro area. The drive gives you another opportunity to enjoy Serengeti wildlife before leaving the plains. Arrive near Ngorongoro or Karatu for dinner and overnight, ready for the crater safari experience the following morning.

Day 7

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

After breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive on the crater floor.
