6 Days Unlimited Maasai Mara River Crossing

TRIP DETAILS

Trip overview

The Great Migration is the most dramatic wildlife spectacle on the planet and thereโ€™s only two places in the world where it takes place: the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Every year millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle make their way from the Ndutu region in the south of the Serengeti, across perilous river crossings and huge expanses of grassy plains, to reach fresh green grass that comes with seasonal rains as they move northwards.

Day by Day Itinerary

After a short introduction of himself, he will transfer you to your dedicated hotel within Arusha City for your night stay waiting for your adventure to start on the next day.

Accommodation:ย Eileens Trees Inย 

Enjoy breakfast at Eileens Trees In and drive towards the northern Serengeti, Game viewing is superb year-round in the Serengeti: the park is home to the Big Five (although rhinos are rarely seen), and is particularly renowned for its predators โ€“ leopard, cheetah, lion and hyena โ€“ which are regularly spotted. The Serengeti also plays host to the phenomenal Great Migration, which sees millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traversing the open plains of the park in search of fresh grass from seasonal rains, moving northwards of the Serengeti known as โ€œKogatendeโ€ into the neighboring Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, and then returning south to the Serengeti again. The dramatic scenes of huge herds on the move, crossing rivers and vast plains and pursued by predators looking for their next kill, are the stuff nature documentaries are made of. Experiencing the Great Migration is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event that most safari travelers have at the top of their bucket list.

Accommodation: Mara Heritage Camp Or Mara Pure Migration Camp

Breakfast at your accommodation and drive to the central Serengeti while gaming on the route, The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, such as impalas, buffaloes, crocodiles, and hippos but is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest (depending on their location and time of your trip). The animalsโ€™ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, you may see predators such as leopards, cheetahs and lions.

After enjoyable afternoon gam rive, you will be driving to your camp for your dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Luxury Tented Cam waiting for your adventure on the following day.

After a beautiful breakfast at your accommodation in the Serengeti, with your packed picnic boxes, you will be driving straight to Ngorongoro crater for the full day game drive inside the Ngorongoro crater, The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera in the world. It is a scenic showstopper that extends across an astonishing 260 square kilometres. The crater is hemmed in on all sides by sheer craggy walls that rise up to 600m above the floor. The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly stupendous and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right. But this spectacular crater also stands as one of Africaโ€™s most alluring safari destinations, supporting solid populations of all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino and buffalo), plus a host of other iconic large mammals, in a lush and scenic landscape that frequently draws comparisons to the metaphorical โ€œGarden of Edenโ€. After crater tour, ascend the crater to Arusha.
