7 days Wildebeest Migration Safari
No doubt you have heard of the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti plains. It’s one of the greatest spectacles – and of course one of the Seven Wonders of Africa. Being part of this event is a lifetime experience, no matter which event you catch.
There are many wonders to experience, including the calving season, the rutting season, and the dramatic Mara River crossings. This 7-day safari is tailored to bring the best experience of this greatest show right before your eyes. You’ll observe herds spreading over the sweeping plains of the Serengeti and eventually witness the Mara River crossings.
The safari starts in Arusha with a pickup from the airport and an overnight stay at luxurious Arusha Coffee Lodge. From there, you go to Tarangire – the home of baobabs and giant elephant herds. Then it’s off for the central part of the Serengeti, and finally northward to the Mara River. You’ll conclude the journey with a visit to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Tarangire National Park. We spend the next hours exploring the park’s iconic landscapes. It’s a tradition here to spot big elephant herds – say bachelor herds, families, etc. Other common animals are wildebeests, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, and lions – and there are surprises. After a relaxed game drive, you enjoy a delicious dinner and a comfortable overnight stay.

Overnight: Tarangire Treetops
Wake up early and find your breakfast on the table. Afterward, head out to the central Serengeti through the Ngorongoro Highlands and enter the park through Naabi Hills gate. We arrive at lunchtime, and afterward, we go for an afternoon game drive. The central Serengeti, especially Seronera Valley, is well-known for a high concentration of the big cats. You’ll embrace the rest of the day with scenic views of lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Enjoy a firelit bush dinner before sleep.
Overnight: Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp
Drive to the northern Serengeti, and en route, you might see elephants, buffalo, zebras, and impalas. The migration herds concentrate in this region, so you can expect more of this area. If lucky, you can witness a river crossing, two or more. The river is crocodile-infested, which makes it even more dangerous for wildebeests to cross, but they have no option but to cross. Spend the whole time driving slowly, and if you have a camera, you can take all the memories with you back home.
Overnight: Klein’s Camp
From the central Serengeti, we drive into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where another wonder awaits. We stop at the Maasai villages for an incredible Maasai dance (Adumu dance) and more of this, including trying on Maasai outfits.
