This very special safari is focused on the Great Migration in the Serengeti. You will spend at least four nights in the park, with two nights in the central area and two nights where the migration is located during that time of year. We have designed this particular tour so that you can finish the safari in the most remote location within the Serengeti before flying to your next destination. We can also arrange for you to return to Arusha by land.
Each leg below covers your route, where you stay, what you’ll do, and how you’ll dine — all fully adjustable with your travel designer.
Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge
Breakfast, Dinner & Lunch
Nestled on the Great Rift Valley escarpment overlooking Lake Manyara, Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge offers an exclusive luxury retreat where contemporary comfort blends seamlessly with the beauty of northern Tanzania. Surrounded by lush vegetation and dramatic landscapes, the lodge provides spectacular views across the lake and serves as an ideal gateway to Tanzania’s famous Northern Safari Circuit.
Designed with natural stone, wood, and earthy African-inspired décor, the lodge creates a warm and elegant atmosphere while offering guests exceptional privacy. Its strategic location places visitors within easy reach of Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, making it an excellent stop for both luxury safaris and relaxing escapes.
You will be picked-up from your hotel at 8:00am and start your beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), this park features breathtaking scenery and is famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, mahogany trees, and its growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a large number of buffaloes and hippos. Game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon you will return to the camp for dinner.
Note: You can replace this park with Tarangire National Park or add an extra day and visit both.

The Highlands
Breakfast, Dinner & Lunch
Perched on the slopes of the Olmoti Volcano within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, The Highlands offers a unique and exclusive safari experience surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Tanzania’s northern highlands. The camp’s distinctive dome-shaped suites combine contemporary design, comfort, and sustainability while providing breathtaking views across the volcanic landscape.
Located away from the busy crater rim, The Highlands provides a peaceful wilderness retreat where guests can experience the beauty of the Ngorongoro ecosystem, ancient forests, and rich Maasai culture. Its elevated position creates a cool, tranquil atmosphere and makes it an exceptional base for exploring the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding attractions.
We will start the day very early with a transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where we will descend onto the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife viewing in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After a fantastic afternoon game drive, you will ascend out of the crater and transfer to your accommodations for the evening.
Ngorongoro Crater is considered one the wonders of the natural world. The crater encompasses 102 sq. miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it a virtual Noah’s ark that features almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can see the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It is also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks.

After an early breakfast, you will make your way to the most famous national park in the world: the Serengeti. The drive itself, although long, is spectacular. Seeing the Serengeti for the first time is an unforgettable moment. As you progress into the park, you will see why the name means “endless plains” in the local language. The park comprises 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) and its plains stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration of two million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. It is also the place of choice to see lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many famous television scenes of animal river crossings have been filmed in this park

Today we suggest a very early wake-up in order to go on a game drive when the animals are more active (you will also see one of the best sunrises of your life). This is really one of the most beautiful experiences you can have on safari. After your game drive you will return to the camp for brunch before making your way to the airstrip for your flight to Arusha or another amazing destination (like Zanzibar). Alternatively, you may opt to stay at the camp and relax in lieu of an early morning game drive.
