7 DAYS WILDEBEEST RIVER CROSSING MIGRATION SAFARI EXPERIENCES

Tour Overview

Embark on an extraordinary 7 Days Wildebeest River Crossing Migration Safari Experience and witness one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. This adventure takes you into the heart of Tanzania’s Serengeti ecosystem, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras move across vast savannah plains in search of fresh grazing and water.

The highlight of this safari is the opportunity to witness the dramatic river crossings, where enormous herds gather along riverbanks before attempting to cross crocodile-inhabited waters. These breathtaking moments showcase the courage, instinct, and survival challenges of the Great Wildebeest Migration, creating unforgettable experiences for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

Throughout your journey, experience the beauty of the African wilderness while staying at carefully selected safari lodges or tented camps, depending on your preferred level of comfort. Professional safari guides will help you make the most of every game drive, sharing their knowledge of wildlife behavior, migration patterns, and the Serengeti ecosystem.

Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera.

The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in the Central Serengeti The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard.

You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.

Later on you will drive to Arusha at 4 pm for the flight and proceed to Kilimanjaro International airport for the flight back home (You will advise the flight time for airport drop off)
