Your safari itinerary day by day
Day 1- Start your Tanzania journey in style
As you arrive in Tanzania, the excitement of the days ahead begins to unfold. Your private guide greets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport before whisking you away to a boutique hotel, immersed in a vibrant coffee plantation and framed by majestic trees.
Savor your first flavors of Tanzania over dinner while looking forward to the safari adventure that awaits.
Day 2 - From coffee fields to crater views
Begin with a leisurely transfer through rolling hills to Karatu, where a sumptuous lunch awaits at the iconic Gibb’s Farm, a colonial farm set amidst verdant gardens and coffee fields. For a touch of adventure, combine your lunch with an optional guided hike through the Ngorongoro Highlands to the mysterious Elephant Caves.
Afterwards, continue to the dramatic rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, where sweeping vistas of Africa’s most famous caldera unfold.
"When we went to North Serengeti we saw a small crossing the morning after we arrived. We saw two big crossings the day after. Our guide John knew how the wildebeests behave and parked right where the wildebeests would likely cross. And as John predicted, wildebeests crossed not long after that."

Day 3 - Sunrise safari in the Ngorongoro Crater
Wake up with the sunrise and be among the first to enter the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s natural wonders. With fewer vehicles around, you will enjoy a serene and exclusive game drive, spotting elephants, lions, hippos, and, if you’re lucky, the rare black rhino. Pause for scenic picnic lunch on the crater floor, surrounded by breathtaking views.
Later, continue your journey towards the heart of the Serengeti, where the endless plains open up for unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Day 4 - Immersed in the heart of the Serengeti
From your luxury tented camp in central Serengeti, today is yours to shape. Take a morning game drive to spot colorful birdlife and perhaps catch a glimpse of the famous hippo pool. Enjoy a delicious lunch beneath majestic Acacia trees, or simply watch birds from your verandah.
Every moment invites you to soak in the Serengeti’s extraordinary beauty at your own pace.
Day 5 - Following the path of the Great Migration
Set off on a scenic drive from central to northern Serengeti, where every turn offers abundant wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments.
Arrive at the Mara River in time to witness the awe-inspiring migration in all its glory. It is a day of discovery, adventure, and extraordinary encounters at your own pace.
Want to make sure you are at the right spot at the right moment?
Day 6 - By the Mara River, where nature writes its own drama
Spend the day along the Mara River, where the Great Migration reaches one of its most dramatic stages. Herds may thunder across the waters, or quietly gather on the banks, waiting for the right moment. There is no script and no rush. Just patience, respect, and space for the animals to move undisturbed.
As your private guide leads you, take in the rhythm of nature at its own pace, whether it’s a wildebeest crossing or a quiet moment shared with elephants in the golden light.
Day 7- Wildlife encounters beyond the riverbanks
Another day to explore along and beyond the Mara River. Venture into the more remote corners of the northern Serengeti, where big cats prowl, colorful birds flit through the trees, and smaller wonders reveal themselves to the attentive eye.
Every sighting, every encounter, feels like a gift. Allow the Serengeti to surprise you, making space for moments as unforgettable as any river crossing.
Day 8 - Scenic farewell to the Serengeti
After your final morning in the Serengeti, take a scenic flight back to Kilimanjaro Airport. Soar over endless plains, winding rivers, and scattered wildlife, savoring one last aerial glimpse of the landscapes that have shaped your unforgettable safari.
A perfect send-off to complete an unforgettable safari adventure.
The migration is calling!
Can’t wait to see the herds in action?
Share your vision and thoughts and we will craft your exclusive Serengeti migration safari.
Did you know...
... that the Great Migration is the largest herd movement of animals on earth? With over a million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles tracking in a clockwise loop of approximately 800-1000 kilometers. About 300,000 won’t survive the journey due to predators, exhaustion or lack of water.
Luckily, your own migration with Ajabu Adventures is quite the opposite: seamless, safe and comfortable, with every detail taken care of. While the herds battle the elements, you will enjoy expert guidance and care-free travel as we follow their epic journey.
