7-Day Mara River Migration Safari

Travel north through Serengeti, enjoying game viewing along the way as the landscape changes toward the northern reaches of the national park.

During the main Mara River migration season, northern Serengeti can hold substantial wildebeest and zebra herds as they move through the wider ecosystem.

Spend the day exploring northern Serengeti with a focus on areas around the Mara River and the seasonal movement of wildebeest and zebra herds.

Your guide will use local information and current wildlife activity to determine the most rewarding areas to explore. River crossings may occur during this season, but they are unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed.

Enjoy another full day in northern Serengeti, providing additional time to follow migration activity without rushing to another destination.

Alongside wildebeest and zebra, look for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and other predators that inhabit the northern Serengeti landscape.

Leave northern Serengeti and travel south through the park while continuing your wildlife viewing.

This journey provides opportunities to experience changing Serengeti habitats while looking for resident elephants, giraffes, buffalo, predators and plains game.

Enjoy another Serengeti game drive before beginning your journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Watch the environment transition from open Serengeti landscapes toward the volcanic highlands surrounding Ngorongoro.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for your final major wildlife experience.

Explore grasslands, wetlands and forest while looking for lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos, hyenas, zebra and other wildlife. There is also an opportunity to look for black rhino, although sightings are not guaranteed.

After your crater game drive, travel back to Arusha where the safari concludes.
