Your East African safari specialist with over 30 years of creating adventure filled memories.

Follow one of nature’s greatest shows—the Great Migration—as nearly two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles thunder across the Serengeti toward the Mara River. Predators stalk the edges, crocodiles wait in the waters, and you, alongside your private guide, trace the path of this epic movement all the way to the remote northern wilderness of Kogatende. Along the way, explore classic parks like Tarangire, Manyara, and Ngorongoro, and start your journey with a relaxing day at the foot of Kilimanjaro.

Day 1 – Arrival in Arusha

Touch down at Kilimanjaro Airport and settle into your lodge’s peaceful gardens and pool—your first taste of Tanzania’s warm welcome.

Day 2 – Walk the Wild in Arusha National Park

Step into the bush on foot with an armed ranger—one of the few places in Tanzania where walking safaris are allowed. Wander past craters, lakes, and forested slopes alive with colobus monkeys, antelope, buffalo, and flamingos on the Momella Lakes. Enjoy a picnic and an afternoon game drive with views of both Meru and Kilimanjaro.

Day 3 – Tarangire’s Elephants & Baobabs

Journey to Tarangire, home to massive elephant herds, towering baobabs, lions, cheetahs, and more than 450 bird species. Picnic by the river as wildlife moves around you, then unwind at your lodge with a cold drink.

Day 4 – Manyara’s Tree-Climbing Lions

Enter Lake Manyara’s rainforest realm—waterfalls, ancient trees, and troops of baboons—before reaching the savannah where elephants, hippos, giraffes, and flamingos roam. Search for the park’s rare tree-climbing lions and soak in the scenery beneath the Rift Valley escarpment.

Day 5 – The Ngorongoro Crater: A Wildlife Eden

Descend into the world’s largest intact crater, home to more than 30,000 animals including lions, rhinos, elephants, and wildebeest. After your Big Five quest, continue toward the Serengeti, watching the landscape open into endless plains as you make your way to camp.

Day 6 – Enter the Serengeti & Seek the Herds

Cross through Naabi Gate into the Serengeti. Wildlife surrounds you—big cats, hyenas, giraffes, impala—as your guide tracks the roaming herds of the Great Migration. End the day by the campfire with night sounds drifting across the savannah.

Day 7 – A Full Day on the Endless Plains

Customize your day: sunrise explorations, full-day drives with a picnic lunch, or a relaxed break before setting out again in the afternoon. Navigate kopjes, forests, hippo pools, and open plains. Consider an optional hot-air balloon safari—an unforgettable birds-eye view of the wilderness.

Day 8 – More Serengeti Magic

Another day dedicated to wildlife. Search for lions, leopards, and cheetahs along winding dirt tracks. Watch gatherings of impala, gazelles, zebra, and giraffes, and look up for lilac-breasted rollers, weavers, storks, and secretary birds. By afternoon, head north toward the Mara River.

Day 9 – Mara River Drama

Arrive in Kogatende, where the migration faces its greatest challenge—the Mara River crossing. Crocodiles and hippos lurk as thousands of wildebeest surge down steep banks, gathering courage for the perilous leap. Witnessing a crossing is raw, unforgettable, and one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles.

Day 10 – Bush Flight to Arusha

Enjoy a final game drive en route to the Kogatende airstrip. Then board your low-flying bush plane for a scenic flight over acacia-dotted plains—sometimes even above the Ngorongoro Crater. Back in Arusha, your journey ends with memories you’ll carry forever. Kwa heri!
