Migration Safari

Witness the world's largest mammal migration

26.500:-
12
days

The Great Migration, as it is also known, is a powerful experience. It is the world's largest and longest migration of mammals on land and is one of the most spectacular natural spectacles in the world. Millions of wildebeest, zebra and antelope move across the vast plains in search of water and pasture.

On their annual migration, the herds cross rivers in the northern Serengeti, among other places, with their lives at stake as the rivers are full of crocodiles lying in wait. Predators such as hyenas, lions and cheetahs also accompany the large herds. The migration is governed by factors such as rainfall and the availability of grazing and water, so the migration does not follow exactly the same pattern every year, but in general terms it can be said to be a continuous clockwise migration.

The safari tour includes Tanzania's best national parks; Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. You will stay in comfortable tented camps and lodges in perfect locations close to wildlife and beautiful scenery. The exact itinerary depends on the date you want to go as you go to different areas at different times. We offer "River crossing migration" July - October and "Ndutu migration" December - March.

Vi erbjuder också flyg från Arusha till centrala Serengeti.

This package can be extended by one or more additional days.

Welcome to amazing Tanzania! Upon arrival, you will be met by one of our friendly guides waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. You will then be taken to your hotel to rest and recover from your journey.

Day 3 - Tarangire - Visit to the kingdom of elephants

After breakfast, you will be picked up at the hotel and the journey to Tarangire National Park begins. If everyone in the group is over 13 years old, there is the option to start the day with a walking safari of about 1.5 hours accompanied by an armed ranger. Walking on the savannah is an amazing experience where you can experience the scents and sounds of the savannah up close. Tarangire is known for its large elephant population, which you can often get very close to, but there are also a variety of other animals and all of the big cats.

Many travelers consider this park their favorite because it is hilly and lush. There are also plenty of other animals here, including all the big cats. To get the most out of your day, bring a picnic lunch to eat at a suitable spot inside the reserve. When the sun begins to set, return to your accommodation for a pleasant dinner.

The guide plans the day entirely according to your wishes and their knowledge of where the animals are usually found.

Day 4 - Lake Manyara - Birdlife and lions in Lake Manyara

På morgonen blir ni upphämtade från hotellet och färden går vidare mot Lake Manyara nationalpark. Inne i parken äter ni lunch på en av de natursköna picknickplatserna. Lake Manyara är särskilt känd för sitt fågelliv. Mitt i parken breder en stor sjö ut sig och omges av tät vegetation, vilket gör att man aldrig riktigt vet vilka djur som väntar bakom nästa krök. Här finns många av Afrikas ikoniska djurarter, och landskapet ramas in av dramatiska bergssidor.Parken är känd för sina trädklättrande lejon, även om de kan vara svåra att få syn på.

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included

Day 5 - Serengeti - Felines on an endless savannah

Juli – oktober
Efter frukost börjar ni resan mot Serengeti och jakten på de migrerande hjordarna. Resan tar ca 4-5 timmar. Men redan innan ni kommer in i själva parken och börjar er riktiga safaritur kommer ni troligtvis att se många djur. Landskapet består till stor del av savann med karaktäristiska akaciaträd.

Innan solnedgången åker ni tillbaks och äter middag på ert boende som ligger mitt i hjärtat av Serengeti.

Dec - mars Efter frukost börjar ni resan till Ndutu som sträcker sig från nordvästra delen av Ngorongoro till södra delen av Serengeti. Där börjar ni er spaning efter migrationen. Ni kommer att passera soda-sjöar som vanligtvis attraherar mängder av flamingos. Under början av året och med en peak i februari/mars kalvar gnuerna och många tusen kalvar föds varje dag, vilket är en otrolig händelse att bevittna.

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included

Day 6 - Serengeti - Among zebras and wildebeests

Juli – oktober

Efter en tidig frukost korsar ni östra Serengeti och beger er mot norra delen. Ni kommer att passera både det klassiska platta landskapet, skogslandskap och små kullar. På vägen ser ni sannolikt massor av flockar med gnuer och zebror som letar efter färskt bete. Efter en lunch ute i det fria åker ni ut på en safaritur längs den mäktiga Mara River.

Dec - mars På morgonen åker ni till Lake Ndutu som är en sjö med extremt hög salthalt. Det är en speciell känsla att se morgondiset över den vackra sjön och många proffs-fotografer åker hit för att ta bilder. Vid migrationen är det full aktivitet och mängder av djur kommer hit för att dricka. Efter en intensiv dag när ni förhoppningsvis sett massor av djur återvänder ni till campen för middag.

Accommodation
  • Boende i Serengeti

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included

Dag 7 - Serengeti - Mara River eller Seronera

Juli – oktober
Efter frukost får ni njuta av en morgontur på savannen och se migrationen på nära håll. Ni åker till Mara River som är full av krokodiler som ligger och väntar på att gnuer och zebror ska våga sig över. Kanske kommer ni att se det mäktiga skådespel när de tar sig över floden. Men oavsett är det en häftig upplevelse. Sent på eftermiddagen återvänder ni till campen. 

Dec - mars Efter frukost åker ni mot Serengeti som ligger ca 1 timmes körning från ert boende. Ni åker sedan till Seronera som är hjärtat av Serengeti där det finns en stor koncentration av djur. Området är känt för sina många kattdjur och ni kan se lejon, leoparder, hyenor och geparder här. Ni kommer att åka på en gamedrive ända fram till sen eftermiddag då ni åker till er campsite.

Accommodation
  • Boende i Serengeti

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included

Dag 8 - Serengeti - Djurspaning i ett fint landskap

Juli – oktober
Tidigt på morgonen beger ni er iväg för en sista chans att se när gnuerna korsar Mara River. Ni åker sedan tillbaka till centrala Serengeti och spanar på djur fram tills det är dags att åka till ert boende. Att sitta på savannen omgiven av alla Afrikas ljud och dofter och se upp mot den stjärnklara himlen är magiskt.

Dec – mars

Dagen tillbringas med att spana på djur som giraffer, strutsar, hyenor, antiloper, geparder, flodhästar och elefanter. Serengeti har även ett rikt fågelliv. För att utnyttja dagen maximalt har ni med er egen picknick som ni äter vid en lämplig plats inne i reservatet. I skymningen återvänder ni till ert boende i centrala Serengeti för att äta en middag.

Dag 9 - Serengeti - Morgonmagi i Serengeti

Waking up early in the morning, breathing in the fresh air, and watching the sunrise in the Serengeti is something truly special. It's as if a calmness lies over the savannah. The Seronera area, where you will be staying, has a particularly high concentration of animals, and the animals are most active in the morning. After a morning/mid-morning safari in the Serengeti, you will continue on to the Ngorongoro Crater. If everyone is over 10 years old, you can choose to take a short walking tour of the crater rim with a guide. You rarely see large animals here, but the view is spectacular.

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included
Activities

Dag 10 - Ngorongoro - Världens åttonde underverk

Early in the morning, you will begin your descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. For many predators, this is the time of day when they are most active. The trip down to the crater itself is an exciting experience, with an elevation difference of almost 600 meters from the crater rim to the crater floor. The crater is called the Garden of Eden because there are between 25,000 and 30,000 wild animals in this area. With a little luck, you may see the endangered black rhino. Ngorongoro was once as high as Kilimanjaro, but three million years ago, the mountain collapsed after a volcanic eruption and formed this mighty crater.

After the safari, you will travel to Arusha and be dropped off at your hotel.

We are on site

Meet your travel advisors

We have Helen on site in Zanzibar, who has lived on the island for many years and has a deep knowledge of both Zanzibar and Tanzania in general. We can therefore offer personally unique experiences. Whether you dream of a private villa, an exclusive resort, or a bungalow, we will help you find what suits you best.

Our tour guides are always ready to help with any questions you may have about your trip. They are knowledgeable and dedicated, and their goal is to make your experience as smooth and memorable as possible.

Accommodation

Good to know

Robust and reliable safari jeeps

We use four-wheel drive Toyota Land Cruisers for all our safari tours in Tanzania. To ensure high quality and reliability, each jeep undergoes servicing after every trip. The roads to the parks are often paved, but inside the parks the terrain is more uneven, which makes for a slightly bumpy ride. However, our vehicles are equipped with comfortable soft seats for the most pleasant experience possible.

All our jeeps offer:

  • seating for up to 7 passengers, all with their own window seat
  • retractable roof offering unobstructed views of the savannah
  • power outlets for charging mobile phones, cameras, and other equipment
  • cool box where you can store any beverage

We are happy to help you book your airline tickets.

We have access to a system where we can compare a large number of flights and come up with several options based on your preferences, such as departure date, airline, number of stopovers, or departure city. We can book flights from most countries, not just Sweden.
The journey from Sweden usually takes around 14 hours, depending on the route.

If we find an option that suits you, we can also reserve the tickets, which means that the price is locked in for a short period while you consider your options. A reservation is not binding and can be canceled at any time if you decide not to proceed.

You are also welcome to book your own flight if you prefer.

  • For a pure safari trip in Tanzania, it is easiest to fly to and from Kilimanjaro (JRO).
  • If you combine a safari with Zanzibar, we recommend a multi-city ticket: fly to Kilimanjaro and home from Zanzibar (or vice versa if you want to end with the safari).

During certain periods in high season, we also have pre-booked airports on selected dates, which usually makes the price a little cheaper.

We usually book domestic flights between the mainland and Zanzibar, but you can also choose to do this yourself.

Currency & payment in Tanzania

Tanzania primarily uses Tanzanian shillings (TZS), but USD is sometimes accepted. However, it is often more expensive to pay in USD.

  • Withdrawing money
    Tanzanian shillings cannot be exchanged in Sweden, so you will need to withdraw money locally. There are ATMs at the airport, in Arusha, and in Moshi.
  • Card payments
    Most restaurants and hotels acceptcard payments, but there are still places where you can only pay in cash or where the card machine does not work. Therefore, it is important to always have cash as a backup.
  • Small bills
    It is smart to have small bills for buying fruit, water, snacks, or souvenirs. Therefore, be sure to ask for small bills when you shop at the beginning of your trip. A good plan is to withdraw a small amount at the airport when you arrive, and then withdraw more as needed after the safari.
  • Haggle with consideration
    Prices are often negotiable, but do so with respect. Avoid haggling just for the sake of it, as many sellers operate on very small margins.

Clothing tips for your safari in Tanzania

This may be good to keep in mind before going on a safari

  • The roof of the safari jeep provides good sun protection, so full-coverage clothing is not necessary. Feel free to choose light, airy, and loose-fitting garments.
  • Avoid bright colors, black, and dark blue, as these can attract insects.
  • The Ngorongoro area is located at high altitude and can be quite cold, especially in the mornings and evenings. Therefore, bring a warm sweater or jacket.
  • When visiting Moshi, Arusha, or other cities, it is advisable to dress respectfully.
  • Bring shoes with thick soles that can handle uneven terrain and protect against sharp thorns.

December - March

Upplev kalvningssäsongen för gnuer och zebror i södra Serengeti, vilket ökar dina chanser att bevittna den stora migrationen. Njut av årets varmaste temperaturer och frodiga, gröna landskap tidigt under perioden.

April - May

Take advantage of fewer tourists and a lush, leafy environment during the long rainy season. Enjoy pleasant temperatures, but be prepared for potential road conditions and the need to keep vehicle windows closed during heavy downpours.

June - September

This long dry season offers excellent game viewing as vegetation thins and wildlife congregates around water sources. It's an ideal time to witness wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River. Expect dry weather and fewer mosquitoes, but also the highest number of tourists.

October - November

Enjoy amazing wildlife viewing in Tarangire as the animals gather near the Tarangire River. Witness the great migration returning to the Serengeti. Be prepared for potential short rains, which often occur in the evening or night and can result in fewer crowds and a greener landscape.

"Great family holiday! Just the right amount of adventure and many interesting encounters. Everything felt very safe and we appreciated that the guides were so responsive and set up each day exactly as we wanted"

November 2019

It's not often that you go on trips that are so incredibly adrenaline-filled, yet so peaceful at the same time. We sat quietly out on the savannah and just listened to all the magical sounds. The best trip I've ever been on!
