Accommodation: Arusha Coffee Lodge (Plantation Suite) – Half Board
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive – Transfer to Central Serengeti
Rise early and enjoy a rich breakfast before departing Arusha in a luxury 4×4 with your expert driver-guide. Your route takes you through the fertile highlands toward the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater—one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders.
Descend into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, a breathtaking amphitheater teeming with over 25,000 animals. In this wildlife Eden, you’ll seek out the Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino along with flocks of flamingos dancing on Lake Magadi and graceful gazelles grazing freely.
After an exhilarating game drive and a gourmet bush picnic on the crater floor, journey westward toward the Central Serengeti. As you drive through the Naabi Hill gate, the golden plains open up before you this is truly the “Serengeti,” or “endless plains.” Your destination tonight is the prestigious Four Seasons Safari Lodge, where you’ll unwind in a suite with direct views over a waterhole frequented by elephants and giraffes.
Accommodation: Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti – Savannah Waterhole View Suite – All Inclusive
Day 3: Full Day Game Drive – Central Serengeti Plains
Awaken to the distant roar of lions or the gentle trumpeting of elephants. After a hearty breakfast, you’ll set off on a full-day exploration of Central Serengeti, home to Africa’s highest concentration of big cats. Today, you’ll witness predators in action—lion prides lounging under acacias, solitary leopards draped across sausage trees, and cheetahs scanning the horizon from termite mounds.
Your guide will navigate you through Seronera Valley, rich in permanent water sources that attract wildlife year-round. Expect close encounters with elephant herds, zebra trains, and towering giraffes. Bird lovers will be delighted by species like the secretary bird, lilac-breasted roller, and kori bustard. A delicious bush lunch is served under the shade of an acacia tree, offering a perfect pause amidst nature. As the sun casts golden hues over the savannah, return to your luxurious lodge to relax by the infinity pool or sip sundowners by the fire pit before indulging in a five-star dinner.

Day 4: Central to Northern Serengeti – Game Drive En Route to Mara River
After breakfast, begin your scenic drive northward through the heart of the Serengeti toward the Mara region home of the world-famous Great Migration. The journey is not just a transfer but a mobile game drive, with your route traversing diverse ecosystems and predator territories. Watch as the open plains give way to riverine forests, kopjes (rocky outcrops), and thickets where leopards may lurk.
En route, you’ll witness giraffe families moving in slow grace, warthogs darting across the road, and large elephant herds marching toward the Mara River. Arriving in the Northern Serengeti by early afternoon, you’ll have lunch and then head straight to the Mara River—a lifeline during the migration months (July–October). Here, wildebeests gather in chaotic masses, braving crocodile-infested waters in dramatic crossings. It’s an overwhelming display of instinct and survival. As the sun begins to sink, retreat to Lemala Kuria Hills, a stunning hilltop camp blending wild immersion with elegant luxury.
Accommodation: Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge – Luxury Tented Suite – All Inclusive
Day 5: Full Day in Northern Serengeti – Witnessing the Great Migration
Today is dedicated to following the Great Migration along the Mara River corridor. After an early breakfast, you’ll embark on a full-day game drive designed to maximize your chance of witnessing a river crossing a thrilling scene of stampeding hooves, splashing water, and predator ambushes. With over 1.2 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebras, and countless gazelles on the move, the Northern Serengeti is alive with action.
As they cross the treacherous Mara River, crocodiles lie in wait, while lions and cheetahs stalk the vulnerable on land. Every moment is packed with intensity and wonder. Your experienced guide knows the terrain and movement patterns intimately, giving you the best opportunities to witness the drama as it unfolds. Enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch overlooking the rolling savannah and later return to camp for an optional sundowner bush walk. Let the evening end with a candlelit dinner under the stars and the distant sounds of Africa all around.
