“We’ll customise this sample itinerary to create your dream safari.”
Choosing the right time to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration is simple with this itinerary. Traveling between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, this 10-day journey places you in prime viewing locations for the world’s most spectacular wildlife event. Depending on when you travel, you may experience the calving season, the long northbound march, or the intense river crossings where huge crocodiles await.
This Migration-focused safari is supported by some of Africa’s finest year-round wildlife encounters. When you are not watching the herds, you’ll explore the Ngorongoro Crater in search of the Big Five – lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard, and rhino – and enjoy rich animal sightings throughout the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. Predator viewing is exceptional, with lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and even wild dogs frequently seen. Birding and general game viewing are equally rewarding.
As a fly-in safari, it avoids long road transfers and ensures smooth travel between destinations, with assistance provided at every step. You stay in small, intimate tented camps perfect for couples and honeymooners, offering comfort while preserving an authentic wilderness atmosphere. Each spacious tent includes an en-suite bathroom, campfire evenings, bucket showers, electric lighting, and private outdoor seating with beautiful views. Morning and afternoon game drives with expert guides complete this immersive safari experience.

Front-row viewing of the Great Wildebeest Migration from expert-led camps in either Kenya or Tanzania.
A full-day Big 5 safari inside Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater.

Itinerary information
Upon arrival at Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a vehicle waits to transfer you to Wilson Airport, where you board a scheduled flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. Your home for two nights is the opulent Bateleur Camp. Set within the shade of an indigenous forest overlooking the grasslands of a private concession in the western Mara where the iconic ending scene of Out of Africa was filmed.
During the heat of the day, the pool offers a refreshing escape, complete with poolside loungers and the subtly attentive service of your personal butler. Your tented suite is a romantic blend of canvas and polished hardwood, with a generous bathroom and magnificent views from a private deck with a splendid view of faraway rolling plains.
The Mara has a richly varied resident population of wildlife, including all the Big 5, and the Great Migration occurs when the vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle move through the ecosystem following the rains and fresh grazing. The plains are best explored by vehicle on early morning and late afternoon game drives when wildlife is most active. Guided nature walks provide a more intimate insight into the natural environment and spotlit night drives add a thrilling sense of adventure. One of the camp’s delightful traditions is stopping at a scenic spot for refreshing sundowners during the late afternoon drive.
Itinerary information
After an early morning game drive and a hearty breakfast, you will return to Wilson Airport for a scheduled flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania. One more air transfer delivers you to Lake Manyara, the area Hemingway described as, ‘the loveliest I had seen in Africa’. Your home for two nights is the enchanting Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. Elegant and comfortable, the lodge’s delightful tree houses are cradled in the boughs of an ancient mahogany forest.
Manyara’s lush forests are alive with skipping blue monkeys and the joyous honking of hornbills. Inland from the floodplains lies a narrow belt of acacia woodland, home to tree-climbing lions, Africa’s graceful giants, elephants and the diminutive Kirk’s dik-dik. Clans of banded mongoose add a comical touch to the panorama. Manyara is a birder’s delight thanks to the combination of wetlands, woodlands and hot springs. Birds flourish here – a haven for many large, migratory and sedentary water birds, including flamingos, pelicans and storks.
Itinerary information
After an early game drive and delicious breakfast, you will be transferred by road from Lake Manyara to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This is a place of wonders – from its miraculous terrain to the abundant fauna and flora it supports, from its status as a World Heritage Site to the harmonious coexistence of its people and wildlife. Lemala Osonjoi Lodge, in the Ngorongoro Conservation area is the perfect base from which to explore this unique destination.
The Crater is the world’s largest intact, un-flooded caldera. Your route from the lodge descends over the lush rainforests of the rim, 610m (2 000ft) down to the grasslands of the crater floor, an area of about 260 square kilometres (100 square miles). This haven provides a year-round home to wildebeest, zebra, eland and gazelle, along with Africa’s densest population of lion. The rainforests shelter elephant, mountain buck, buffalo, hyena, wild dog, leopard and cheetah.
