The Great Wildebeest Crossing Safari

Day 01: Arusha – Lake Manyara National Park

In the morning, meet & greet in Arusha with your professional guide. Drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Your guide will open the pop-up roof so you can directly observe the wildlife. The park stretches 50 km along the Rift Valley escarpment wall and Ernest Hemingway once described the views as “the most stunning” he had ever seen. In the late afternoon drive up the Rift Valley and stop at the scenic viewpoint before proceeding to your accommodation.

Overnight; Lake Manyara Serena Lodge

Day 02: Rift Valley / Karatu – Central Serengeti

Get an early start for the journey to Serengeti National Park. The drive will take you through the highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Soon you will reach the short grass plains of Serengeti National Park with a first game drive taking place in the afternoon.

Overnight; Ole Serai Luxury Camp

Day 03 – 05: Northern Serengeti National Park

Wildebeest Crossing Safari; In the morning proceed further north and you will reach the legendary Mara River by the afternoon –with game drives en-route. Between July and October, thousands of wildebeests will gather at the Mara River waiting for the perfect time to cross. Of course, large Nile crocodiles already lie in wait as the wildebeests cross the river. And such predators as cheetahs, leopards and lions are ready to pounce as the migration crosses their territory.
