6-DAY NDUTU GREAT MIGRATION ADVENTURE

Upon arrival in Arusha, you will be warmly welcomed by your safari representative and transferred to Under The Shade Safari Lodge. The remainder of the day is reserved for relaxation after your journey. You may enjoy the lodge facilities or simply rest and prepare for the safari ahead. In the evening, your professional safari guide will meet you for a briefing and review the arrangements for the following days. Dinner and overnight at your Lodge.

After breakfast, depart from Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park for your first wildlife experience. Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and beautiful savannah landscapes. Enjoy a game drive through the park, with opportunities to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas and, with luck, lions and other predators.

A picnic lunch will be enjoyed in the park before continuing with an afternoon game drive. Later, leave Tarangire and proceed to Karatu for dinner and overnight at your Lodge.

After an early breakfast, depart Karatu and travel toward Ndutu through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you descend toward the southern plains, the landscape opens into the expansive grasslands that become a major gathering area for the Great Migration during the December–April season.

Upon arrival in Ndutu, begin your first game drive, searching for the migrating herds and the predators that follow them. Depending on wildlife movements, your guide will select the most promising areas for viewing. Later, continue to your Camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, set out for a full-day wildlife adventure across the Ndutu plains. This is the principal migration experience of safari. During the December–April season, large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra move through the southern Serengeti ecosystem, while the calving period creates exceptional opportunities to observe young animals and the predators drawn to the herds. Spend the day exploring different areas according to current wildlife movements, with possible sightings of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, gazelles, elephants, giraffes and abundant birdlife.

A picnic lunch will be served in the wilderness before continuing the afternoon game drive. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart Ndutu and travel toward the Ngorongoro Crater. Upon reaching the crater rim, descend into the crater for an unforgettable game drive among its diverse wildlife and dramatic scenery. The crater provides excellent opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and a variety of antelope species, with a chance of seeing the endangered black rhinoceros.

Enjoy a picnic lunch during the crater experience before ascending in the afternoon and continuing to Karatu. Check in at your Lodge for dinner and your final overnight stay.

After breakfast, depart Karatu for Lake Manyara National Park for the final game drive of your safari. The park is known for its groundwater forest, open woodland, grasslands and lakeshore scenery. During the game drive, look for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, baboons, monkeys and a wide variety of bird species. After exploring the park, continue toward Arusha.

Depending on your confirmed flight schedule, your guide will coordinate the timing for a smooth transfer to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport. No accommodation is planned for this day, and the safari ends with your airport transfer.
