Day 2 – Central Serengeti ➝ Northern Serengeti (Mara River Region)
After breakfast, travel north toward the Kogatende area of the Serengeti. This region is a key location for viewing the Great Migration between July and October, where thousands of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River, often stalked by crocodiles and lions.
Enjoy game viewing en route and settle into your migration camp near the Mara River. This is one of the most dramatic and sought-after safari experiences in Africa.
Accommodation: Kenzan Migration Camp
Day 3 – Northern Serengeti ➝ Central Serengeti
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive near the Mara River to maximize your chance of witnessing a migration crossing. Explore the northern Serengeti’s wildlife-rich riverbanks, and spot giraffes, hippos, elephants, and predators on the prowl.
Later, return to the Central Serengeti in time for dinner and your overnight stay at the tented lodge.

Day 4 – Central Serengeti ➝ Ngorongoro Crater ➝ Arusha
After breakfast, head to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater — a 600-meter-deep volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife. Home to 25,000+ animals, it offers excellent chances to see the Big Five, including endangered black rhinos.
Descend into the crater for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch beside the scenic Ngoitoktok Springs. Later in the afternoon, begin the drive back to Arusha, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport.
