5-Days Serengeti Wildebeest Migration in Tanzania
Tour highlights
This is one of our most popular tours as it allows you to spend a very reasonable amount of time in the Serengeti (2 nights) and still have the chance of exploring Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire National Parks. You can either do the tour by land (circle itinerary) or fly back from the Serengeti to remove the backtracking.

Itinerary idea in detail
You will be picked up at your hotel and start your approximate two hour journey to the Tarangire National Park. The park’s offerings are enormous but are best known for its savannah, seasonal swamps and baobab trees along with the large number of elephant herds. During the dry season the Tarangire river is the only source of water in the region, hence attract a considerable number of animals such as bush bucks, hartebeests and giraffes from not only the park but also from neighboring areas like Lake Manyara. You would be having an extensive game drive in the park in an open roof vehicle and then you would be driven to Farm of dream lodge in karatu for your dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, depart to Ngorongoro crater, we will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. There will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo Lake. Start a safari to Serengeti national park. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. You will see why the name means, in local language, “endless plains”. The park has 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances.
It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park. Accommodation will be at Osupuko luxury tented camp.
Full 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 picnic lunch. Accommodation will be at Osupuko tented luxury camp.
On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. Continue with a game drive, after the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we’ll proceed to Ngorongoro highlands then to Karatu for overnight at Karatu Simba lodge.
Pickup from Simba lodge at 8:30 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. During afternoon start a safari back to Arusha at hotel or Kilimanjaro airport. Will be the end of 5 days tour.
