Serengeti & Ngorongoro — 5-Day Great Migration Safari
★ 4.9 · 1,920 reviews· Serengeti · Ngorongoro · Lake Manyara· Start & end Arusha (JRO)
Five days following the world's largest land-mammal migration — 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, 350,000 gazelle, looping the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem year-round. The headline moment is the Mara River crossing (Jul–Sep, northern Serengeti) — frantic dust, crocodiles waiting, the only event in nature that genuinely justifies the word "stampede". We move our migration camp into the right region for your dates. Plus the iconic Ngorongoro Crater game day, Lake Manyara tree-climbing lions, and a fly-in transfer from Seronera to keep drive time down. Best paired with our Zanzibar beach trip.
"We saw three river crossings in one day. Crocodile took a young wildebeest right in front of us. Brutal, magnificent, deeply alive."
"Ngorongoro crater day rivals the migration. 25,000 animals in one bowl. The balloon at dawn was the splurge to make."
Late July to mid-September — northern Serengeti at the Mara River. Calving season (S Serengeti, Feb) is the other dramatic moment: 8,000 babies born per day in the same month.
Yes — the classic Bush & Beach. End in Seronera, fly direct to ZNZ for our Stone Town & Kendwa trip. Combined 9-day package from $4,190/pp.
JRO to Seronera by road is 8+ hours of corrugation. The 90-min Cessna over the Rift Valley is worth every dollar. We include it standard.
