9 days witnessing nature's greatest spectacle — the wildebeest migration across the Serengeti — combined with a descent into the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater.
There is no wildlife spectacle on Earth that compares to the Great Migration. Over 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebras, and countless gazelles surge across the Serengeti plains in a never-ending cycle of life, death, and renewal. This 9-day journey puts you right in the heart of the action. Start in Arusha, then fly into the Serengeti's migration corridor where you'll follow the herds with expert local guides. Watch dramatic river crossings, witness predator-prey encounters, and float above it all in a dawn hot-air balloon ride. Then descend 600 metres into the Ngorongoro Crater — the largest unbroken caldera in the world and home to the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa. Lions, elephants, rhinos, flamingos, and hippos all call this natural amphitheatre home. Stay in luxury tented camps that move with the migration, ensuring you're always in the right place at the right time.
