Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport

You will be met by a Velam Safaris Tanzania transfer driver at Kilimanjaro International Airport and driven to your lodge where the rest of the day is at your leisure. Your options include taking a relaxing swim in the pool, taking one of our day tours, or simply relaxing in your room.
Day 2 - Northern Serengeti National Park

You will travel to one of Africa's top game parks, the Serengeti National Park, after breakfast. As you travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the direction of the Serengeti, you will start to appreciate the size of this region and be astounded by the variety of animal and bird life. In the Ngorongoro Highlands, you can visit a Maasai village and interact with the elders, warriors, women, and kids there. Learn about the final nomadic tribe in Tanzania and its culture, beliefs, and traditions. Tanzania's oldest and most well-known national park, the Serengeti, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The annual wildebeest migration, a once-in-a-lifetime event, is the most famous highlight of each season in the Serengeti, a year-round destination. Before arriving in the Northern Serengeti in time for an afternoon game drive, you will go on a game drive en route. At Mbugani Migration Camp, spend the night.
Day 3 - Northern Serengeti National Park

On a full-day game drive today, you'll travel further into the renowned Serengeti to look for the great wildebeest migration. Your home base will be near the Mara River, where crocodiles hunt and wildebeest congregate to wait to cross. They will multiply for days, building anticipation. However, many will abruptly turn and stray from the edge of the water. The wildebeest will eventually select a crossing point, which varies from year to year and is unpredictable. The great wildebeest migration is the largest animal migration in the world, and seeing it in person is an experience of a lifetime. At Mbugani Tented Camp in Serengeti National Park, spend the night.
Day 4 - Northern Serengeti National Park

As you move between the Northern and Central Serengeti today, you will take another full day of game drives. You have the freedom to design your own itinerary today. You can choose to enjoy a half-day game drive in the North and a half-day game drive in the Central Serengeti, or you can spend an additional full day in the Northern Serengeti before traveling to the Central Serengeti. Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp, Central Serengeti, for the night.
Day 5 - Northern / Central Serengeti National Park

You will be rewarded today with a trip to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, one of the few places on earth where people and wild animals coexist peacefully and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Due to the constant availability of water on the crater floor, the Ngorongoro Crater is renowned as offering the best game viewing in Africa. You will descend 610 meters into the Crater after reaching its rim, where your safari actually starts. Discover the critically endangered black rhino, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, eland, Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, and of course, enormous elephants. You will return to Arusha for your final evening after a long (6–9 hour) game drive.
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast today, a transfer will take you to the airport in preparation for your next flight. Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport is where this tour begins and ends in Arusha. Alternatively, we can arrange internal flights so that this tour begins and ends in Dar es Salaam or Nairobi.
