Ngorongoro & Serengeti Migration Safari - Tanzania 9 nts

Day notes

Your safari begins on arrival into Arusha (JRO), where you are met by your private guide and transferred to the peaceful Tumbili Lodge for an overnight stay. Set in lush gardens on the outskirts of town, it’s a calm and comfortable introduction to Tanzania, giving you time to rest before your journey into the wild begins.

Day notes

Leaving Arusha, you travel by road through ever-changing landscapes toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying a scenic drive with a packed lunch en route. You spend two nights at Mysigio Camp, a small and authentic camp that offers a strong connection to the surrounding Maasai culture. Time here is as much about people as it is about wildlife, with opportunities to engage with local communities. A highlight is your full-day descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its dense concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five, all within a dramatic volcanic caldera.

Day notes

From Ngorongoro, you continue into Serengeti National Park, with the option to stop at Olduvai Gorge—famous for its significant archaeological discoveries linked to early human origins. You then spend three nights at Nyumbani Collection Camp, ideally located for exploring the central and eastern plains. This region is known for year-round wildlife, with excellent predator sightings and vast open landscapes that define the Serengeti experience.

Day notes

Your journey continues north to the remote Kogatende region, one of the best areas to witness the Great Migration (season dependent). Here, you spend three nights at Intimate Camp Zebra, a mobile-style camp that places you close to the action. Game drives focus on tracking the herds and, if conditions allow, witnessing dramatic river crossings, along with superb predator activity that follows the migration.

Day notes

After your Serengeti experience, you fly back to Arusha, concluding your safari.

From Arusha, there is the option to continue to Zanzibar for a relaxing beach escape. A three-night stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel offers a laid-back, intimate setting on a quiet stretch of coastline—an ideal way to unwind after your adventure through Tanzania’s iconic safari landscapes.
