Your safari adventure begins early in the morning with a scenic drive from Arusha to the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park. The journey takes you through the Ngorongoro Highlands and down into the vast Serengeti plains, where wildlife becomes more abundant as you approach the park. Upon entering the Serengeti, enjoy your first game drive through the western region, known for its riverine landscapes and dense concentrations of wildlife. Depending on the time of year, you may encounter the Great Migration as thousands of wildebeest and zebra gather near the Grumeti River, often trailed by crocodiles and predators waiting to strike. Arrive in the late afternoon to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery of the African wilderness.

Spend the day exploring the Western Serengeti, following the migration routes along the Grumeti River. This area is a key migration corridor between May and July, when vast herds cross the river on their way north. The region’s lush vegetation and permanent water sources attract a variety of wildlife, including hippos, elephants, giraffes, and large prides of lions. Your expert guide will lead you to the best viewing spots for observing the herds and their dramatic interactions with predators. The day is filled with unforgettable wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes, ending with a spectacular sunset over the plains.

Enjoy another day of adventure in the western corridor of the Serengeti. You may start early to catch the predators returning from their nightly hunts and experience the park’s morning activity. Continue exploring different areas of the corridor, from open grasslands to riverine forests, where leopards and baboons are often spotted. Depending on the season, you may witness the famed Grumeti River crossings, an extraordinary sight as wildebeest brave crocodile-infested waters. Take time to soak in the tranquility of the Serengeti, appreciating the rhythm of the wild and the incredible diversity of this ecosystem.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive through the Serengeti as you make your way back toward Arusha. This journey offers one last opportunity to spot wildlife along the route, with sweeping views of the plains and acacia-dotted landscapes. Arrive in Arusha in the late afternoon, where your safari concludes with memories of the Great Migration and the extraordinary beauty of Tanzania’s western Serengeti.
