This tailor-made itinerary focuses purely on safari, and on some of the finest safari experiences in Tanzania! You’ll observe the lesser-known elephant migration in Tarangire National Park before heading to the Serengeti for the Great Migration.

The first property you’ll visit is Kuro Tarangire. Run by Nomad Tanzania, this is a classic tented camp in the central region of the park. Next up is Gibb’s Farm, situated among coffee plantations on the edge of the Ngorongoro hills and a superb base from which to explore the famous crater. Finally, you’ll head to Serengeti Safari Camp, a comfortable mobile camp that moves several times per year to keep up with the Great Migration herds!

During your stay at Kuro, you’ll enjoy expertly guided game drives, night drives, and bush walks. Tarangire is home to a real wealth of wildlife, with the period from July to October featuring the park’s amazing elephant migration. Vehicle safaris are also available from Gibb’s Farm, as the highlight of your time here will comprise venturing into the Ngorongoro Crater to see all Big Five in addition to numerous smaller mammals and ample birdlife! And once in the Serengeti, you’ll board a 4×4 again, focusing on sightings of the Great Migration.

The final few days of your holiday are spent in the Serengeti. Come Day 5, you’ll return to Lake Manyara Airport via private road transfer and fly to either Serengeti Ndutu Airstrip or Serengeti Kogatende Airstrip, before transferring to Serengeti Safari Camp. This camp follows the Great Migration, so its location changes throughout the year. Please contact a member of YZ to discuss travel arrangements. At all sites, the property offers a pleasant library tent, dining tent, and fire-pit. There are six safari tents, all featuring a well-appointed bedroom and washroom complete with bucket shower! While the camp is in the southern region of the Serengeti, the emphasis on game drives is observing the Great Migration herds on the short-grass plains. Calving season usually occurs in February. From July to October, safarists can enjoy watching the herds’ spectacular river crossings in the northern area of the park. And there’s plenty of other wildlife to see, throughout the year.

All-inclusive accommodation, featuring three meals daily, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, shared scheduled activities, transfers between camp and the local airstrip, and a laundry service.

On the last day, you’ll return to the local airstrip and fly back to KIA in time for your flight/s home.
