luxury Serengeti Migration Safari

On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and after customs and immigration formalities, you will be met by our representative who will drive you to Arusha City which is the safari capital of Tanzania. It is located beneath the peak twins of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. Arusha is a major international diplomatic hub.
Arusha is your gateway to the safari adventures that can be found on the famed northern circuit. Arusha is a dynamic and bustling city where Africa and the west collide in a dizzying, fascinating fusion. With a domestic airport (Arusha) and an international airport (Kilimanjaro), it’s also the perfect place to launch your adventures to Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, or even neighboring countries such as Rwanda, Kenya, or Uganda. The city is the capital of the East Africa Community and also houses the East Africa Court of Justice, located in the northern highlands of Tanzania.

Your overnight stay will be at Arusha Serena Hotel

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National Park in the world, the Serengeti. The drive 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”. It has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. The plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home to the great migration of 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for the big cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park. Serengeti is truly home to the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration.

Late in the afternoon drive to the lodge

On this day you spend the whole day in the Serengeti National Park. We are completely flexible with your preferences and this day will be organized according to your wishes. On every day of the safari, your guide will discuss with you the best timings for you, including the game drives and the wake-up time. For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. During game drives sometimes you may drive for a long time without spotting any animal and then suddenly they appear! The guide will take you to the best spots according to your animal wish list! Sometimes you may spot animals in the trees, flying, camouflaged in the bush, in rivers, and in streams. This is the adventure of a lifetime! On this day there is an option of doing the hot air balloon in the morning at an extra cost according to availability.
