4 Day Great Migration Itinerary (Serengeti and Ngorongoro)

Day 1:Moshi – Serengeti NP

An early start from your hotel in Moshi as you drive to the infamous Serengeti National Park.  The Serengeti’s literal translation means ‘endless plains’, and is home to the spectacle of the great migration – thousands of wildebeest and zebra on the move in search of fresh grasses. Today is a long drive, but with plenty to see along the way.  You will pass through Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping at a fantastic view point of the caldera.  You will reach the Serengeti in the afternoonfor a game drive before heading to set up camp at a public campsite within the National Park. 

Day 2:Full Day Serengeti

With a full day in this magnificent National Park you will have a great chance of seeing the migration.  Your driver will communicate with park rangers to pin-point exactly where they are.  In June, it is likely that the wildebeest will be towards the West, heading North therefor you may even get to see a River Crossing.  After your day of wildlife watching, head back to camp for dinner and a night amongst the wilderness.

Day 3:Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Rise early before dawn to catch the wildlife whilst they are still active before the day gets too hot and they return to rest.  Explore the hippo pools and find crocodiles basking as the sun comes up.  Return to camp for brunch, pack up and then drive to Ngorongoro whilst viewing more wildlife on the way.  You will set up camp at Simba camp- on the edge of the crater rim.  Be prepared to find zebra and possibly even elephant wandering through camp as your chef cooks up a storm for dinner.  No doubt after a busy day you will turn yourselves in early!

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater Tour – Moshi

 Wake up to a delicious breakfast at the campsite and then descend into the infamous Ngorongoro crater to view some of Tanzania’s more rarely seen wildlife including the black rhino.  You will have a morning game drive on the open grassy plains of the crater, stopping for a picnic lunch at Ngoitoktok hippo pools before returning to Arusha/Moshi (arrive 5pm/6pm).
