The Wildebeest Migration is a dramatic story. It takes place within Kenya and Tanzania and is the greatest wildlife show on earth. Between the open plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, thousands of wildebeest and zebra’s migrate to greener pastures as the seasons change and the circle of life and death continues. Predators closely follow the Wildebeest Migration waiting for an opportunity to strike weak prey as they make their way into different territories.

DAY 1: Serengeti National Park
In the afternoon you will fly straight from Arusha to the Serengeti arriving in time for an afternoon game drive. Catching the great migration in the Serengeti is a spectacular sight, and if you time your safari right, you might witness millions of wildebeest hustling together as the intensity of the migration grows. You will enjoy staying at the Serengeti Sopa Lodge for two days on a full board basis.

Day 2: Serengeti National Park
Today is your second day on safari and you will have both morning and afternoon game drives through the Serengeti exploring the wildlife in the great open plains.

DAY 3: Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge
After enjoying your breakfast you will drive via Olduvai Gorge to Ngorongoro Crater, with a picnic lunch en route. Discover the archaeological history at Olduvai before driving to your accommodation at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. Quite possibly the most famous of all Africa’s conservation areas, this is one of the places in Africa where you stand a very good chance of seeing the "Big Five". Spend two nights at the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge on a full board basis, where the high altitude of the Crater Rim will ensure you sleep well.

DAY 4: Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, our Essential Northern Circuit safari has allocated a full day for game viewing in the Crater with a picnic lunch. The crater is rich in wildlife and the day will be filled with sights and sounds of the wild echoing within the crater walls.
