Trip overview
The vastness of the Serengeti makes it different out from other wilderness areas. Named as one of the Seven Wonders of Africa, the Serengeti is makes up one of the most important ecosystems on the planet, supporting and abundance and diversity of animals and birdlife that is hard to match anywhere else. The national park, which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also home to the highest concentration of large predators in the world. The Great Migration is the most dramatic wildlife spectacle on the planet and thereโs 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 pleasant arrival at Kogatende airstrip, you will be welcomed by our professional safari guide and ย proceed with the game drive 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 โKogatendeโ 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 a once-in-a-lifetime event that most safari travelers have at the top of their bucket lists, you will spend two nights in the northern Serengeti

The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly breathtaking and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right. But this spectacular crater also stands as one of Africaโs 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 โGarden of Edenโ.

The Hadza, or โHadzabe tribeโ is an indigenous ethnic group in north-central Tanzania, living around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and the neighboring Serengeti Plateau. This cultural experience is one of the most sensitive cultural encounters available today. The essence of Hadzabe culture can be summed up in one word: Harmony. They live in harmony with each other, nature, and themselves, it is almost impossible to spend time with traditional hunter-gatherer tribes and not affect the way they live.ย But the Hadzabe in Northern Tanzania live today as they have lived for thousands of years: hunting for game with bows and arrows, gathering honey from the beautiful African baobab trees, and digging for roots and tubers from deep within the arid ground of the acacia bushland. And this will bring a deep sensitivity to your African culture. After having the lessons, we will drive back to Karatu for your dinner and overnight.
