This 7-Day The Great Serengeti Migration Safari package has been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti Wildebeest Migration. To save on unnecessary travel time and increase your game viewing time, this itinerary has been designed that you fly back from the Serengeti National Park to Moshi. The itinerary also include a visit to the world famous Ngorongoro Crater. August through October, the migration heads north, out of the central Serengeti, splitting into two routes. The main group heads into the western corridor crossing the Grumeti River in spectacular stampedes. Enormous crocodiles wait patiently to snatch wildebeests as they surge across the river. The wildebeest continue to move steadily across the Grumeti region, making another river crossing at Kogatende(north Serenget) to cross the Mara River and reach the lush grazing in Kenya's Masai Mara
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Intl Airport, you’ll be greeted by a Roaming Africa Tours & Safaris guide who will drive you to your booked hotel in Moshi for dinner and an overnight stay. Moshi is a town in Tanzania famously known as the home to the highest point in Africa “Mount Kilimanjaro” with an estimated population of 201,150 on the eastern edge of the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley, Moshi has a temperate climate. The town is close to the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Arusha National Park on Mount Meru.

The game viewing is very good and you can follow game for long periods – truly one of the forgotten corners of the Serengeti Plains. Magnificent riverine trees can be found along the river lines and bird species such as kingfishers and fish eagles can be found here.

Safari Day 5: Serengeti (Central) – Northern Serengeti (Kogatende Area)

We arrive in time for lunch at the lodge and after lunch will we enjoy an afternoon game drive in the area. The wildebeest migration can normally be found in this area from August to October, depending on rainfall patterns. A long stretch of the Mara River runs through the northern Serengeti National Park and the Mara River provides the migration with its most difficult obstacle. Witnessing the frantic herds of wildebeest crossing the Mara River is amazing.
Meal: B, L, D
Accommodation: Cherero camp
Safari Day 6: Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)
After breakfast, enjoy a full day game drive in the Wagakuria area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in this area of the park, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however, from August to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note –Finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to the river and only decide to cross or not cross until a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve.
