Day-by-Day Itinerary (6 Days)
Route may adjust to the migration location & lodge availability.
Day 1: Zanzibar → Serengeti (Fly-In) + Afternoon Game Drive
Morning flight from Zanzibar direct to the Serengeti airstrip (seasonal routes). Meet your private guide and start game driving toward camp. Settle in and head out again for golden-hour sightings.
Day 2: Serengeti — Predators & (Seasonal) Migration Herds
Dawn start for cats on patrol. Depending on month, focus on Central/North/West for big cats and (when in range) the Great Migration’s dramatic movements.
Day 3: Serengeti — Full Day Safari
Work different habitats—kopjes, river lines, and open plains. Bush breakfast/picnic options keep you in the field.
Day 4: Serengeti → Ngorongoro Highlands
Morning game drive; then scenic transfer toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Overnight on the crater rim/highlands for a short descent tomorrow.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater — Big Five Focus
Sunrise descent for prime predator activity and a chance at black rhino. Picnic near a hippo pool and complete a full loop of key habitats before returning to lodge.
Day 6: Fly to Zanzibar or Arusha
After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar (or Arusha for onward connections). Optional beach extension available.
