7-DAY GREAT MIGRATION AFRICAN SAFARI – GREEN SEASON

On the Great Migration African Safari, you will see the great concentration of elephants at the Tarangire Park; the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the few places left in the world with the black rhinoceros; and the Serengeti National Park for the Great Migration.

Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport

After arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport and completing immigration formalities, meet your safari guide at an arrival lounge for your Great Migration African Safari. After a brief introduction, your guide will drive you about an hour to your lodge in Arusha. The following day after breakfast, you will get a short orientation about your trip Dinner & overnight – Kahawa House. (Bed & breakfast basis)

Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire

After breakfast, depart with a packed lunch for Tarangire, a drive that takes 1.5 – 2 -hours. Tarangire Park covers 2600 square kilometers. The diversity of flora and fauna is stunning; besides birding and elephant population density, different species of big and small cats are found as well. Safari is all about learning and exploring. We recommend silence when watching and observing wildlife, to respect their privacy in their native habitat. After lunch in the park, we’ll continue with the game drive for a couple of hours. Dinner & overnight – Lake Burunge. (All meals included.)

Day 3: Tarangire

Start your day with a packed breakfast to enjoy wilderness and wildlife in the great morning light and see animals when being active. Birding at Tarangire is phenomenal; the park has a record of over 500 bird species. The park has the largest elephant population density per square kilometer in the Northern part of the country compared to other parks. The great wildlife diversity of the park makes it one of the great places to visit year-round, though most reports say Tarangire is at its best in the rainy season. You’ll have lunch at the lodge and relax during the hot part of the day. We’ll leave again for the late afternoon drive for a couple of hours. Another option could be taking a packed breakfast and lunch in order to stay out in the park as long as possible. Dinner & overnight – Lake Burunge. (All meals included.)

Day 4: Tarangire – Serengeti

After your leisurely breakfast, depart to the Serengeti National Park and the Great Migration African Safari. This drive is a bit longer; it might take 4 – 4.5 hours. The drive cuts across the Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In the green season, the migratory animals tend to form larger herds, which is a typical habit for them for their safety. Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)

Day 5: Serengeti

Depart early and enjoy breakfast out in the bush while watching wildlife and the stunning green natural habitat. Serengeti is huge—it covers 14,763 square kilometers (9200 miles). The abundance of ungulates attracts predators as well; there are a lot of fascinating prey/predator relationships. Wildebeest adapted, gathering in massive groups especially when they are in the open plains. You’ll have lunch at the lodge, then leave again for a late afternoon game drive when the sun cools down. The evening light provides a great opportunity for stunning landscape pictures with wildlife of the Great Migration African Safari. Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)

Day 6: Serengeti – Ngorongoro

You’ll have an early departure after breakfast with a packed lunch and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The crater is a spectacular place; it has a scenic environment and is rich in a variety of wildlife diversity including the endangered black rhinoceros. In the dry season, it is usually very difficult to find the black rhinoceros but in the rainy season, they tend to wander widely due to the greater availability of pasture. We’ll have lunch in the crater when you build up an appetite. After lunch, sit back and enjoy the scenic environment of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and its caldera for a couple of hours. The crater Is technically a caldera due to the type of formation and the size of the area. After violent volcanic activities that took place millions of years ago, the volcano collapsed leaving a huge depression that is now the famous Ngorongoro caldera. Dinner & overnight – Farm House Valley. (All meals included.)

Day 7: Karatu – Arusha

After a leisurely breakfast on the final day of your Great Migration African Safari, you will depart to Arusha, where you will have lunch at Kahawa Lodge, a day-use room, and then a late evening transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight back home.

WHY IS MY SAFARI MORE EXPENSIVE WITH LESS PEOPLE IN THE GROUP?

Safaris are a mixture of fixed costs for the tour company (JAfrica)  ie staff, vehicle, food, and external costs which come in the shape of accommodation and park fees etc.

When pricing a safari we divide our fixed cost by the number of people in the safari truck to work out a cost per PAX, then we add on the accomodation and park fees.

This means that the fixed costs are shared by the people travelling, so the more people in the group, the less the individual is required to pay. If you have any quieries regarding this or anything else about your safari trip to Africa please feel free to contact us.

Please call or email for child pricing, depending on the numbers in your group we can negotiate better room rates with the lodges.

  Olé & Josh use their vast knowledge & skills amassed from growing up in in Tanzania & previously working for Safari Companies and their own connections in both these other... read more companies & in their own considerable connections in both East Africa and throughout Southwest and South Africa! Having both formal education at the college & University level, and they are both Masai Warriors on top of all that! Their ability to navigate with amazingly prepared vehicles into The Ngorongoro to find not only beautiful Elephants, Giraffes, Cheetahs,Gazelles and their young, but watching the Great migration in various settings from dawn to dusk is something that my wife and I shall never forget! It was the trip of a lifetime! In the Serengeti we had a most wonderful breakfast surrounded by Wildebeests & Zebrasunder a Beautiful Acacia Tree! Unbelievable, and yet it happened! When no one could find the elusive Leopard, Josh and Olé tracked a morning kill/ carcass in a tree. Later, that afternoon, they found the Leopard resting in a nearby tree that we were not only able to photograph her, but photo her quite close! From Hippos to crocodiles, Topi’s, Oryxes, Warthogs, Rhinos, and the King of the Beasts, the Lion and many Prides, including a mating!It has almost been too much for us to take all this wondrous experience in! From the time we were met by Olé at the Nairobi Airport to taking us to the Boma hotel, to the Sweetwater Campsite where we began seeing these magnificent animals and birds. We experienced first class treatment, fantastic food and wonderful support staff whose only goal was our well being and comfort in the middle of Kenya, Ansil Samburu, Ngorongoro (Ndutu) Conservation Area along with Mgubani Camps at both Ndutu and the Serengeti. I am amazed at how much planning and work must have gone into this by Olé and Josh. Glitches happen all the time during a 14 day evolution, but if any problems occurred, I do not know about it, as Josh & Olé took care of it. Our ‘ side trip’ into a Masai Village was simply icing on a wonderful tasty cake! A Special surpthat was a memory for the ages and will NEVER be forgotten! So, if you want to go on a fantastic Safari to see sites and the animals that you have only dreamed about or seen in documentaries, utube or movies, get connected with Olé and Josh at Joash Africa Wilderness Insight Ltd.; they will take care of you, treat you as Family and show you Their Africa, the Africa you want to see. The Africa that my wife and I wanted to see. You will not regret it!! …

  My son and I traveled to Tanzania for 2.5 weeks, and finished our time with a 3 day, 2 night safari in Tarangire with Joash Africa Safari. Joshua was excellent... read more to communicate with before our arrival in Tanzania and it was his brother, Moses, who was our guide for the 3 day safari.

Moses was kind, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants while in the park. When you book a trip to Africa, and go on safari, I don't think we realize just how much trust we put into our guides and drivers. From the moment we met Joshua and Moses, we knew we would be in good hands. Not only did we feel safe, but we also felt like we left the trip with new best friends. And, when our flight to return home was canceled, Joshua was available to us for anything that we needed as we now had another 24 hours in Arusha.

I can't recommend Joshua and Joash Africa Safari enough. We will be back, and we will recommend them to all our friends.

And, of course, we had amazing sightings of wildlife while in the park, and far away from other tour groups which made us feel like the park was all ours. Book with Joshua and you will be glad you did.

He is very... read more professional and always has a smile on his face. He wants to make sure you get what you are looking for and goes the extra mile to try and get it. He is very organized, his vehicle is always ready and clean. He always had treats for all my family which was very nice. I really recommend having Joshua as your guide. He is a guarantee of safety and having wonderful animal sightings.
