The Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is an extraordinary wildlife event and a life time experience for an animal lover. 1,5 million wildebeests around Serengeti searches for fresh water and nutritious grass. Following them are large numbers of zebras, different kinds of gazelles and …. hungry predator cats luring in the grass around them. The migration has been fairly investigated but still it is hard to foresee its exact movements since it is depending on when the rain comes. Our Serengeti Wildebeest Migration itinerary adjusts to the migration to make sure you come as close as possible to the animals. We can assure that you will have a great safari experience
Day 01: Arusha-Ngorongoro
Depart Arusha in the morning for your drive through the Maasai Steppe and along the Rift Valley to Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. After arrival you descend to the Crater floor for a wonderful game drive . The Ngorongoro Crater is often described as one of the wonders of the world and has been declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site .It is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and a a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest animal populations. It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in their natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. With a bit of luck the ‘Big Five’ can be spotted during one game drive only.
Spend sunset overlooking the Crater Floor from the pool area or your private panorama windows.
Overnight at Ngoronogoro Sopa Lodge. Lunchbox and dinner included
