Your Itinerary
A staff member of Gosheni Safaris will pick you up from the Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). From here you will be driven to your hotel in Arusha and gain briefing on your upcoming safari. Enjoy a restful night before beginning your adventure tomorrow!
Arusha, also known as "A" Town by the locals, is situated at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain. The altitude gives the city a pleasant climate and lush green environment. Arusha is not a particularly attractive city in itself and is regarded by many visitors as little more than a necessary stopover before their safari starts in earnest. However, the natural charm of the Tanzanians and the buzz of a fast-growing city mean that Arusha has plenty to offer for those who are prepared to see beyond their air-conditioned safari trucks and satellite-TV equipped hotel rooms
After breakfast, you will be picked up from and drive to Arusha airport for flight to North Serengeti. After you arrived, proceed to a game drive in the wilderness tracking the Great migration trails. In the evening, drive to the lodge for evening leisure and overnight.
Witness a million of wildebeests, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north.
Spend a full day in north Serengeti mostly exploring the Migration (An option of doing a Hot Air Balloon is in this area)
Serengeti National Park, Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however, from July to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note - to actually finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.
After breakfast, you will be heading to central Serengeti with picnic lunch, and game drives en route, afternoon game in Serengeti Central Part. Then later proceed to the camp for evening leisure and overnight.
