Great Migration Serengeti Safari

After breakfast, transfer to Arusha airstrip for your bush flight to the Serengeti. Even the flight is spectacular — the Rift Valley, Ngorongoro Crater, and endless Serengeti plains unfold below. Land on a bush strip and transfer to your first safari camp. After lunch, your first afternoon game drive introduces you to the Serengeti's incredible density of predators — lion prides, cheetah families, and hyena clans.

A full day dedicated to the Great Migration. Your guide tracks the herds using a network of scouts and rangers positioned across the Serengeti. Spend hours among hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra as they stream across the plains, shadowed by opportunistic predators. If the timing is right and the herds are near a river, you may witness the heart-stopping drama of a river crossing.

The highlight of the trip — a pre-dawn hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti. Drift silently over the migration herds, hippo pools, and predator kills as the sun rises over the endless plains. Touch down for a champagne bush breakfast. After this once-in-a-lifetime experience, transfer to your second camp in a different area of the Serengeti for fresh landscapes and wildlife.

Morning game drive focused on the Big Five — the Serengeti has excellent populations of lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino. After brunch, visit an authentic Maasai village where you'll learn about the warrior culture, cattle herding traditions, and the remarkable coexistence between the Maasai and Serengeti wildlife. Afternoon game drive as the bush comes alive.

Your last full day in the Serengeti — make every moment count. Morning and afternoon game drives give you final chances for incredible sightings. Between drives, enjoy the camp's amenities or take a nature walk with a Maasai guide. Tonight's farewell dinner is a special affair under the canvas of African stars.

A final sunrise in the Serengeti before your bush flight back to Arusha. Connect with your international flight at Kilimanjaro Airport, or extend your stay with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar beaches, or a Kilimanjaro trek.
