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.

  My daughter and I met up with a friend and her son in Arusha, Tanzania to go on our first safari. Joshua Monah coordinated all of it for us,... read more covering all details, changes and the requests of our group. His knowledge of the town, the conservation and national parks and the flora and fauna were beyond compare. His generosity, kindness and love for his work shows. All of our encounters with local businesses, shops, park personnel and those at our accommodations were so pleasant because of Joshua's warmth, professionalism, and his historical knowledge. It is clear that he is well respected. This trip was well planned and flexible to changes - we had wonderful accommodations, great food and interactions. And the safari itself was fantastic - we saw it all - the black rhino, the big cats, the hippos, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, baboons, monkeys, hundreds of bird - and Joshua could name every bird before we checked the books! He was never wrong! This company knows the habitats, habits of the animals and the history of the region. He is a native of Tanzania, NOLS trained and is able to provide information about the culture, geography, animals, history and so much more. If and when the other members of my family get to go on Safari or visit Tanzania (or when I return) this is the only guide I'd consider. …

  Joshua is a Maasai, a trained wildlife biologist and behavioralist, National Outdoor Leadership School alum and one heck of an amazing guide for our 8 day trek with him June/July... read more 2019. We love birding, but clueless as to what we were seeing. Joshua could tell us within seconds what birds we were seeing, look it up one of his many bird books and go into as great of detail as we wanted about the migration, habitat and perhaps a story or two for our entertainment. He was so respectful of the animals, and would often avoid the masses and take us to places that few knew about so we could have very private animal viewing experiences. We saw other guides who were playing on their phones while their guests were watching a jaguar and her cub play. They asked to borrow our binoculars because their hired 'guide' didn't have any for them to use. Be careful on what companies you use. Better to go with Joshua who will create a custom trip for you on whatever you want to see and do and will make sure you have an amazing trip.
