Itinerary of the 5-Day Serengeti Migration Safari Package

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Your 5-day Serengeti migration safari begins with an early morning departure from Arusha. The journey to Serengeti National Park takes approximately five hours, offering you scenic views of the Tanzanian countryside along the way. As you approach the Serengeti, the landscape changes dramatically, opening up into the vast, iconic plains that are home to some of the world’s most incredible wildlife. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on your first game drive, where you’ll immediately be immersed in the wonders of the Serengeti. Here, the wildebeest migration may already be in full swing, with thousands of animals moving across the plains in a seemingly endless procession. You’ll spend your first night at a comfortable lodge within the park, where you can relax and prepare for the adventures ahead.

Day 2, 3, and 4: In-Depth Serengeti Exploration

The next three days of your 5-day Serengeti migration safari package are devoted to exploring different parts of the Serengeti, each offering unique opportunities to witness the migration and other wildlife. Your days will begin with early morning game drives, the best time to catch predators like lions and cheetahs in action. As the sun rises, the plains come alive with activity, and you’ll follow the herds as they move in search of fresh grazing grounds.

Your guide will take you to key locations where the migration is most intense, whether it’s watching the dramatic river crossings where wildebeest and zebras brave the crocodile-infested waters or observing the herds as they spread out across the plains, constantly on alert for predators. Alongside the migration, you’ll also have the chance to see other wildlife that the Serengeti is famous for, such as elephants moving gracefully through the savannah, giraffes feeding on acacia trees, and hippos lounging in waterholes. Each day offers a new adventure, with opportunities to capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories. Evenings will be spent at your lodge, where you can unwind and share stories of the day’s sightings.

Day 5: Final Serengeti Game Drive and Return to Arusha

On the final day of your safari, you’ll have one last chance to experience the Serengeti with an early morning game drive. This is your opportunity to catch any final glimpses of the migration and to see other wildlife that may have eluded you earlier in the trip. As the morning progresses, you’ll begin your journey back to Arusha. The drive back is a time to reflect on the incredible experiences of the past five days and to savor the last views of the Serengeti’s stunning landscapes. Upon arrival in Arusha, you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation, marking the end of your unforgettable 5-day Serengeti migration safari.
