On This Trip
- Walk along the rim of the Ngorongoro crater
- See the mass migration of wildebeest and zebra in the Serengeti
Every year, two million wildebeest and zebra traverse the Serengeti plains in the Great Migration, in search of water and fresh grazing. Predators including lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena are never far away, making game-viewing all the more exciting.
Departing in early June, your safari begins at the Ngorongoro Crater, home to black rhino and a vast quantity of other wildlife including lion, buffalo, hyena and elephant. From here you travel to the remote beauty of Lake Natron, visited by only a handful of people each year. You will see Maasai manyattas, clouds of flamingos and thrill-seekers have the option of climbing the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano at night.
Saving the real highlight until the end, you will spend three nights in the heart of the action in the Serengeti, watching as columns of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle make their way north. You camp in the Western Corridor, where crocodiles and hippos make the crossing of the Grumeti River all the more perilous.
The safari ends in the small faming town of Arusha where you can choose to fly home or extend your trip with a relaxing stay on a Zanzibar beach.
