6 Days Serengeti Migration Safari

6 Days Serengeti Migration Safari in June (Mid-Luxury)

The 6 Days Serengeti Migration Safari is a wildlife viewing package to the Seronera area and Grumeti River Area that combines the Serengeti wildlife experience with game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. On this 6-day safari, enjoy game drives while sighting some of the most ferocious mammals like lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and wildebeests. This tour is recommended for June annually.

The package is designed to include both the Seronera area (central Serengeti) and the Western Corridor, where the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found from May to June.

Day 1: Arusha – Ngorongoro

Travel time: 4 hours, Distance: 190 km

Your guide will pick you up from Arusha to start your 6-day Tanzania safari and transfer you to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will arrive in time for lunch at the lodge, after which you will descend over 600 meters into the crater for an afternoon safari drive. Supported by a year-round water supply, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants, not to mention its dense population of predators like lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is a major feature of the crater and home to flamingos, hippos, and other water birds.

Day 2: Ngorongoro – Central Serengeti

After breakfast, you will head towards the Serengeti National Park, with its plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. You will head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which attracts a wide representation of Serengeti's species. You will enjoy a game drive en-route to the lodge, arrive in time for lunch, and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti.
