Serengeti Migration Ride

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport where a driver will meet you. The drive from the airport to the lodge takes about 40 minutes. Your first night is spent at a lodge situated on a golf, polo, and wildlife estate, depending on availability. Meet up with the rest of the group for sundowners and dinner hosted by one of the guides for the safari.

The day begins with a leisurely breakfast. At 10:30am a short 10 minute drive to the private airstrip leads to a scenic flight over the dramatic Rift Valley, Lake Manyara and the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Upon arrival in the Serengeti, a warm welcome awaits before embarking on a 2-3 hour game drive through this iconic wilderness, offering a first glimpse of the diverse wildlife. After reaching camp and enjoying a delicious lunch a guide will outline the upcoming adventures. In the afternoon, head out for an evening drive, followed by a relaxing sundowner back at camp. The day ends with a dinner under the stars, a genuine African experience in the heart of the Serengeti.

Over the following days, the journey unfolds across the vast plains, riverbeds and rich wildlife corridors, following the great wildebeest migration. Each day combines driving alongside giraffes and zebra, intimate wildlife encounters and moments of stillness beneath Acacia trees. Camp moves with the rhythm of the migration, including a raw flycamp experience in big cat territory and a visit past the historic Olduvai Gorge – the cradle of humankind. There will also be a full day excursion to Ngorongoro, the world famous crater and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and all days will be filled with unique scenery and an incredible abundance of wildlife, including a high chance of encountering the highly endangered black rhino. The safari continues with views of Ol Donyo Lengai, Tanzania’s only active volcano.

An early breakfast in camp marks the start of the final morning. It’s time to say goodbye to the dedicated safari crew. Climb into safari vehicles for one last stretch through the wilderness, ascending into the Ngorongoro highlands and driving along the rim – a last glimpse of the wild heart of Tanzania. At the park gate the paved road signals a return to modern life. The drive to the airstrip takes roughly three hours, depending on the whims of African roads, with a stop at a local gallery for shopping and a chance to view or purchase Tanzanite – a rare gem found only in Tanzania. The Journey concludes with a short, scenic private charter flight, 30 minutes to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), offering a final aerial view of this extraordinary landscape. Here the journey comes to an end as everyone departs and continues onward, each carrying a piece of the Serengeti’s spirit into their next adventure.
