8 Days Discover Serengeti & The Great Migration

Natural phenomena are a plenty around the world, but few compare to the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem’s annual Wildebeest Migration in terms of sheer size. The numbers alone are unbelievable: up to 2 million animals, along with wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, travel 3 000 km (1 900 miles) to follow the rains and their oldest instincts.

On an unforgettable Wildbeest Migration Safari, spend 8 days discovering Tanzania’s most iconic and exciting national park. Visit the must-see Central Serengeti, the vast plains of Central Serengeti, and the Northern Serengeti.

ITINERARY

Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport – Arusha Town

Whatever your arrival time at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your driver guide from our office will be there waiting for you with a warm welcoming smile, relax in your comfortable vehicle as he takes you to your hotel in Arusha. On your journey to the hotel, you will get a brief impression of this large, bustling, commercial city. Depending on your arrival time you may either meet with your Safari expert today for briefing or tomorrow before you start your Safari.

Overnight Stay at Kibo Palace Hotel
Day 2: Arusha - Transfer to Arusha Airport - Fly to Western Serengeti

We start our journey with a short drive to Arusha airport, followed by a 3 hour flight to the Grumeti Airstrip in the Western Serengeti. If you have never seen the Serengeti before, the primeval vastness of this place will blow you away! Kirawira, Nyasirori, Simiti…the names are hard to say and maybe difficult to remember, but over the next few days these locations in Tanzania’s Western Corridor will bring you wildlife adventures that will fill you with memories. Your driver-guide can choose from a number of ‘loops’ when searching out wildlife opportunities for you: these depart from and reconnect to the main road, visiting different types of vegetation and exploring varied habitats. Two important rivers cross this region, and the permanent pools created by the Grumeti and Mbalageti ensure that animals can be seen all year-round. Populations of elephant and giraffe, wildebeest, baboons and lions are all resident here, but the Migration time sets a different scene entirely. Huge crocodiles lurk in anticipation of the river crossing, looking to pick off a wildebeest or two as their herds plunge into the waters for the other side. Safety in numbers? Not always, so perhaps you will see not only a crossing, but a kill as well. Patience will bring its rewards – for crocodiles and for you, the visitor, poised with your camera!

Overnight stay at Mbalageti Tented Lodge
Day 3: Full Day Game Drive Western Serengeti

After breakfast, enjoy the full day game viewing in western Serengeti. In Migration times, your driver-guide will do all he can to ensure you witness a crossing. If you didn’t see one yesterday, then today offers another possibility. But the Western Corridor has much more to offer. A favourite amongst our visitors is the collection of hippo pools: as they wallow throughout daylight hours in the mud, this really is wildlife-spotting at its easiest!

Overnight stay at Mbalageti Tented Lodge
Day 4: Ndutu - Central Serengeti

Day 4: Western Serengeti - Central Serengeti After breakfast, and a morning game-drive en-route, we set off for our next destination, the Central Serengeti, a journey of 80km with an expected time of around 2 ½ hours. On arrival, we take lunch and have an afternoon game drive. While you’ve been asleep or having breakfast, you can be sure that your driver-guide has been checking to see what’s happening in the wonderful world of wildlife. Rest assured, he will find you a highlight! In the afternoon, we take the short drive to the central part of Serengeti, where after lunch a game-drive will introduce you to this wildlife ‘hub. Finally, you will go to your chosen accommodation for relaxation and your evening

Overnight stay at Serengeti Tortilis Camp
Day 5: Full Day Game Drive Central Serengeti

Today, we set off from our accommodation in central Serengeti. Wildlife is abundant: sometimes you may think it has come to find you, rather than the other way round. Today’s highlight is unknown as the animals don’t publish their schedule and what we see also depends on the season, but this area is where bushland meets grassland, a favorite spot for big cats looking for prey. Cheetah, leopard and lions are all possibilities today. Today you will have a chance to enjoy the varied landscapes of the central Serengeti. The Seronera River weaves its way through this area, providing waters for all species of wildlife. You may also see the distinctive rocky outcrops, the famous kopjes which characterized the Serengeti landscape. Lunch will be served at the picnic site with an unforgettable experience enjoyed in the middle of the bush.

Overnight stay at Serengeti Tortilis Camp
Day 6: Central Serengeti - Northern Serengeti

After breakfast, our journey from Central Serengeti to Northern Serengeti will take around 5 hours, with plenty of changing landscapes and wildlife highlights to see along the route. The changing landscapes of Northern Serengeti and the wildlife surprises it will almost certainly provide. There are no guarantees, but a rhino sighting cannot be ruled out! We are now following in the footsteps of the Great Migration, great herds of thousands of zebra and wildebeest getting ready to cross the Mara into Kenya, and back again. On a daily basis, crossings cannot be guaranteed, but our driver-guides know the most likely places to witness them

Overnight stay at Ang’ata Migration Camp
Day 7: Full Day Game Drive Northern Serengeti

As you awake for a second day in Northern Serengeti, you can contemplate those parts of this northern area can easily match the Southern Serengeti for the abundance of wildlife viewing, especially between July and October. After your breakfast, you will embark with your driver-guide on a full-day game drive, looking out for elephant and buffalo, eland and gazelle. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot something really special: perhaps a cheetah, or even a rare black rhino, of which a small population are resident here.

Overnight stay at Ang’ata Migration Camp
Day 8: Fly Back to Arusha Or Kilimanjaro Airport

After a relaxing breakfast, we leave our Northern Serengeti accommodation and transfer to Kogatende airstrip for our flight back to Kilimanjaro International Airport (‘KIA’). Your two-hour flight represents a last chance to see beautiful Tanzania - this time, from above. At the airport, you will connect with your departure flight back home!

5days/4nights of amazing adventure with Roger and Mody. 10/10 We were a family group of 5 on a 4 nights/5 days camping safari with Nyange Adventures right before Christmas 2022. We were welcomed at our Hotel by our guide and driver Roger. He quickly showed how friendly and talented he was, and became part of the “Family”. The first day in Tarangire was extraordinary, and we already felt lucky with Rogers knowledge about the animals. We picked up our Chef Mody, who cooked delicious food throughout our safari. The safari in Serengeti was a highlight as we saw the big 5 right away. Roger has a keen eye for details that others might not notice, and guided us towards an amazing number of animals, birds and reptiles. The storytelling and facts about the different wildlife made the safari seven more special. While we had some bad luck with a small breakdown, Roger and Mody kept the spirits up and were quick to find solutions. At the campsites they were always available and became good friends. At our return to our hotel in Arusha, the manager mr. Nyange himself greeted us, and asked about our adventure with his talented staff. As sad we were to leave Roger and Mody, who we had become friends with through our safari, we were fond of the amazing memories we made. If you are thinking about going on a safari, trip or adventure around Arusha or Moshi, I can highly recommend Nyange adventures, and especially Roger and Mody, who were professional, welcoming, friendly and fun persons to be with.

Amazing experience I could not be happier with the service I received. Nyange adventure has a excellent staff, starting with Amina (sales coordinator), she was the first person that contacted me as soon as I asked for a request. After that, the communication has been great. I travelled alone and as a girl, I felt a little bit scared, but Amina made me feel secure all the time. The tour guide, Rogers, was great, he demonstrated how much he loves his job and how good professional he is. Finally, the cook, Moody, was great, he prepared amazing food an very plentiful all the time. I have no words to thank enough all Nyange Anventure staff for making my stay in Tanzania so amazing.

Great Safari Experience with Nyange Adventures. Highly Recommend! The whole experience was amazing. My second time with Nyange Adventures doing the Tarangine and Ngorongoro national parks Safaris. Picked up at Kili Airport and we drove to the first National Park. Spend the night at a beautiful resort with a great diner and the next morning went to Ngorongoro National park, which really is an extraordinary once in a lifetime experience. The tour company is very professional, plan according to your wishes and take good care of you throughout your stay with them. They go the extra mile to show you all the beautiful animals and share their knowledge with you. Even the lunchboxes were great! We had a wonderful time. Many thanks to our driver, Alan, and the whole Nyange Adventures team. I highly recommend.

Amazing skilled guides and very friendly. Perfect safari experience! My mother and I travelled with Ian as our guide and Godfrey joined the team as amazing cook. Ian went above and beyond to give us the best experience, has shared so much knowledge on wildlife, has respect for nature and was simply the best guide we ever had. He and Godfrey were helpful, very friendly and great company. We laughed a lot and we couldn't wish a better team to have this incredible experience with! Thank you guys! Also the owner, Praise, was very helpful with organising the covid test. All went smooth. Totally recommend this company.

Tansania Safari Die Safari war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis! Wir waren 5 Tage in Serengeti, Ngorongoro und Tarangire zusammen mit unserem Guide und unserem Koch. Die Campsites waren absolut ausreichend mit akzeptablen Sanitäranlagen. Wir mussten uns um nichts kümmern. Alles wurde uns organisiert und geplant. Wir durften nur geniessen. Leckeres Frühstück, Mittag- und Abendessen mit frischem und mehr als ausreichendem Essen und Trinken wurde uns immer zur Verfügung gestellt, sodass wir nie hungrig sein mussten. Unser Guide hat uns die ganze Reise begleitet, uns an alle Hotspots gebracht und sich sehr bemüht uns alles zu zeigen. Manchmal hätten wir uns mehr organisatorische Infos und etwas weniger Aufmerksamkeit seinerseits für sein Handy gewünscht. Man merkt jedoch, dass er sehr viel Wissen hat, alle Fragen jederzeit beantworten kann und er definitiv seine Arbeit gerne macht. Das Motto von Nyange Adventures „Come as a client-Leave as a friend“ ist wirklich sehr passend! Wir könnten Nyange Adventures nur empfehlen und wünschen jedem eine so tolle Erfahrung, wie wir sie machen durften.

Super safari! 4 dagen lang hebben wij een safari gehad die we nooit meer zullen vergeten. Samen met gids Roger van Nyange Adventures bezochten wij Tarangire, Ngorongoro en Serengeti. We genoten van de prachtige omgeving en wildlife. Roger wist ons allerlei nieuwe dingen te vertellen, beschikt over veel kennis en is erg enthousiast. De communicatie gedurende onze trip was perfect en we krijgen elke dag een duidelijke briefing van wat ons te wachten staat. Al met al enorm genoten, een aanrader.
