DAY 01: ARUSHA – TARANGIRE PARK (150 KM 3 HRS.)
Mealplan: Lunch & Dinner
07:30 Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Arusha area hotel, airport, or Arusha area residence.
Climb aboard your private 4 x 4 safari Jeep and we’ll head down the highway to Tarangire National Park.
We will travel through the scenic Maasai country, with its microclimates and distinct vegetation.
Tarangire is a lovely park where the wildlife vastly outnumbers the tourists. You may feel as if you have the reserve’s over 3,000 elephants to yourself. Also look for lion and leopard here as well as zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo, and eland.
You can’t miss the park’s unusual baobab trees with their immense trunks and short, busy branches reaching for the sky. Just another aspect that makes this reserve so special.
We’ll spend the evening at our Tarangire lodge or tented camp.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.

DAY 02: TARANGIRE PARK – NDUTU AREA (220 KM 6 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
From Tarangire, our 4 x 4 Jeep will take us to the Ndutu Area; along the way, we can stop at world-famous Olduvai Gorge. This immense ravine has revealed a vast trove of fossilized human remains and is an outstanding record of our ancient history and cultural development.
The Ndutu region is known as an ideal area to view the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration. From December through March, you’ll witness the emotional calving season when up to 8,000 newborns drop onto these green fields.
Later in the spring, as the herds mature, you’ll see the great masses of grazers moving north into the Serengeti on their timeless trek for survival.
You’ll spend the first of two nights at your Ndutu Area accommodation.
DAY 03: FULL DAY AT NDUTU AREA
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We’ll enjoy an entire day of unlimited game drives on the rolling grasslands and wooded acacia forests of Ndutu.
Though this is a very active region during six months of the Great Migration (December – May) the Ndutu Area also features year-round resident wildlife that can be spotted at its many watering holes during the dry season.
Look for all the big cats – lion, leopard, cheetah, serval, caracal, and the African wildcat. Plus, there are plenty of elephants, giraffes, antelope, and hyenas roaming these fields.
The area is also a very special spot for bird watching.
We will spend our second evening at our Ndutu Area safari lodge or tented camp.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.

DAY 04: NDUTU AREA – SERENGETI (150 KM 3 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Now it’s time to head north into the heart of the great Serengeti National Park. In contrast to the Ndutu Area, the Serengeti plains are almost treeless, stretching out to the deep horizon.
But these vast reaches are home to great numbers of wildlife – over 3,000 lions, 7,000 elephants, and more than 50,0000 buffalo.
We’ll spend the first of two nights at our Serengeti lodge or tented camp.
DAY 05: FULL DAY AT SERENGETI PARK
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
As at the Ndutu Area, we are looking forward to an entire day of unlimited game drives. Just talk with your driver/guide as to what areas of the park you’d like to visit and how busy you wish to be.
With its rich ecosystem and abundant wildlife, the park is known as one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of Africa” You’ll soon experience this wonder as you discover all the big game – lions, elephants, giraffe, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, and a startling canopy of over 500 bird species.
We will also make small wildlife discoveries, coming upon smaller species like baboon, monkey, honey badger, and hopefully the rare African wild dog.
We may even find hippos and crocodiles in the park’s unexpected rivers.
We will relax and enjoy our second evening at our Serengeti accommodation.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.

DAY 06: SERENGETI – NGORONGORO (160KM 3 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Let’s enjoy an early morning game drive through the park with the lightly dappled sunlight playing upon the awaking African savannah.
We’ll breakfast and head for our final wildlife viewing experience, the Ngorongoro Crater. This vast geological structure is another of Africa’s natural wonders. It’s the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.
It is an immense ecosystem, virtually cut off from the rest of Africa that is home to over 25,000 animals. We are going to head down into the heart of this immense caldera to make our own discoveries.
We’ll descend the crater’s steep walls in our 4 x 4 Jeep, coming to rest in a verdant universe of teeming wildlife. All the big cats are here as well as elephants, zebra, giraffe, antelope, gazelle, black rhinos, and even pink flamingoes.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore the crater’s grasslands, marches, and acacia forests, delighting in the numbers and variety of the wildlife thriving in this giant bowl.
We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch and continue our game drives through the afternoon, finally ascending the caldera walls in time to catch a blazing sunset up at the crater’s rim.
We’ll spend the evening at our Ngorongoro safari lodge or tented camp.
DAY 07: NGORONGORO – ARUSHA (261 KM APPX. 5 – 6 HRS.)
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch
If we’re lucky (and get up early enough) we might catch a spectacular sunrise at the crater’s rim.
We’ll enjoy our final safari breakfast and point our 4 x 4 Jeep back to Arusha, making a lunch stop along the way.
We will bring you to your hotel, residence, airport, or another place of your choosing.
You’ve seen the best of Tanzania – its beautiful parks, dramatic wildlife, and wonderful people. We hope we’ve exceeded your safari expectations. From all of us, a big thank you for your time and the trust you have placed in us. We’ll stay in touch and hope to plan your next African safari adventure.

FAQs – 7 Day Great Migration Tanzania Safari Package
Planning a safari in Tanzania, especially during the world-famous Great Wildebeest Migration, comes with many questions. At AK African Tours and Safaris, we want you to feel fully informed and confident before booking your adventure. Below, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions about our 7 Day Great Migration Tanzania Safari Package to help you understand what to expect, when to travel, and how to make the most of this unforgettable experience:
Our 7 Day Great Migration Tanzania Safari Package is designed to give you the ultimate wildlife experience in just one week. It includes all ground transport in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle, full-board accommodation in lodges or tented camps, park entry fees, professional English-speaking driver-guides, and daily game drives. Meals, bottled drinking water on safari, and airport transfers are also covered. You will explore key migration areas of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and other highlights of the Northern Circuit. Optional extras like hot-air balloon rides or a Zanzibar beach extension can be added to personalize your trip.
Northern Tanzania is home to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, two of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. This region is where the Great Migration unfolds each year, as over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras move in search of greener pastures. The Serengeti’s vast plains and river systems provide a front-row seat to this natural spectacle, while the Ngorongoro Crater offers an unmatched concentration of wildlife in a unique volcanic landscape. By choosing Northern Tanzania, you not only follow the migration but also enjoy excellent opportunities to spot the Big Five and other diverse species.
A typical 7-day itinerary begins in Arusha, where you’ll be briefed before setting off. Day 1 usually takes you to Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park for elephants, tree-climbing lions, and birdlife. Days 2 to 5 are focused on Serengeti National Park, with morning and afternoon game drives that follow the migration based on the season. Day 6 is spent in Ngorongoro Crater, where you descend into the caldera to see a dense concentration of wildlife. Day 7 brings you back to Arusha for departure. This structure ensures you cover the most important safari highlights while maximizing your chance of seeing the migration in action.
The Northern Circuit is the most popular safari route in Tanzania because it combines multiple world-class parks in a single trip. The highlights include Serengeti National Park for the migration, Ngorongoro Conservation Area for its crater ecosystem, Tarangire National Park for elephants and baobab-studded landscapes, and Lake Manyara National Park for diverse birdlife and unique scenery. Depending on your travel dates and preferences, we may focus more time on Serengeti or Ngorongoro to ensure you experience the migration at its peak.
The migration is a year-round event, but certain times are more dramatic. From December to March, the herds gather in the southern Serengeti for calving season, when thousands of newborns arrive and predators are highly active. From July to September, the action shifts to the northern Serengeti, where wildebeest brave the Mara River in dramatic crossings. June and October are also excellent months with fewer crowds and great game viewing. Because lodges and camps sell out quickly during these peak periods, it’s best to book your safari at least 6 to 12 months in advance.
The best place depends on the time of year. For the calving season, the Ndutu area in the southern Serengeti is unbeatable, with vast herds spread across the plains. For river crossings, the northern Serengeti along the Mara River is the top location, usually between July and September. In June, the western Serengeti and Grumeti River also host exciting crossings. Our team at AK African Tours and Safaris plans your itinerary around the herds’ movement to put you in the best location at the right time.
A Wildebeest Migration safari focuses on one of nature’s greatest spectacles — the mass movement of over a million animals across the Serengeti. Unlike a standard safari, where sightings can be unpredictable, a migration safari gives you the chance to see unique events such as river crossings, mass calving, and predator-prey interactions on a huge scale. It combines classic safari wildlife viewing with the excitement of being part of a moving natural drama, making it one of the most unforgettable safari experiences in the world.
In addition to wildebeest, you’ll see zebras, gazelles, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Hyenas are commonly seen following the herds, while vultures circle overhead during predator kills. The birdlife is also outstanding, with everything from flamingos to eagles. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are especially rich in biodiversity, giving you the chance to tick off the Big Five and many more species in a short period of time.
Yes, this safari is perfect for first-time visitors. The itinerary is well-paced, covering Tanzania’s most iconic parks without being too rushed. Our experienced driver-guides explain everything from animal behavior to local culture, so you gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit. The mix of landscapes, wildlife, and comfortable accommodations ensures that first-timers feel safe, well looked after, and completely immersed in the safari experience.
Absolutely. Many couples choose the Great Migration safari as a honeymoon trip. We can arrange special touches such as luxury tented camps, private bush dinners, sunset champagne toasts, and hot-air balloon rides over the Serengeti. After your safari, you can add a Zanzibar beach extension for a relaxing, romantic finish. Whether you want an adventurous honeymoon or a luxury escape, we’ll customize the package to fit your style.
Accommodation options range from mid-range lodges to high-end luxury tented camps and exclusive mobile camps that move with the herds. Lodges provide modern comforts like en-suite bathrooms, while tented camps bring you closer to nature without compromising safety or service. Mobile camps offer a unique chance to stay right where the action is. No matter your budget, all accommodations we recommend are clean, safe, and well located for excellent game-viewing access.
Booking is simple. Share your preferred travel dates, group size, and budget with us, and we’ll prepare a customized itinerary for you. Once you confirm your safari and pay a deposit, we secure all your accommodations and park permits. You’ll then receive a full confirmation with travel tips, packing advice, and direct contact with our team. You can reach us quickly by phone, email, or WhatsApp — whichever is most convenient for you. Because peak migration dates book out quickly, we recommend reserving your safari as early as possible.
