9 Days - Great Migration & Ethnic Safari

Witness the Greatest Show on Earth

Imagine millions of wildebeest and zebras forming one vast herd, grunting in unison as they raise clouds of dust in their headlong rush, protecting one another from the surrounding predators. This itinerary takes you right to the heart of the action, where — with a little luck — you will watch the herds risk their lives crossing a river teeming with crocodiles. Not for the faint-hearted!

Beyond the Great Migration, this safari includes a unique ethnic experience: an encounter with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes at Lake Eyasi — home to one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer communities on Earth.

Day 1 — Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport

Day 3 — Serengeti National Park (Centre/West/East)

Serengeti National Park is world-renowned as the ultimate safari destination, above all for the Great Migration. Spectacular herds of wildebeest and zebras stampede across the plains, pursued by a host of predators in nature's most dramatic theatre.

Days 4 & 5 — Northern Serengeti and the Great Migration

Two full days in the northern Serengeti with the chance to witness the legendary Mara River crossing. Picture yourself in your safari jeep, rolling across the Serengeti plains, when suddenly you encounter millions of wildebeest and zebras moaning and braying as they attempt to cross a crocodile-filled river. The Great Migration in its most raw and powerful form.

Day 7 — Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's seven natural wonders. Formed two million years ago when a massive volcano erupted, its fertile lava soil has created a unique ecosystem sheltering the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa — including the elusive black rhino.

Accommodation: Eileen's Tree Inn

Day 8 — Ethnic Tribes at Lake Eyasi

The Hadzabe Tribe: One of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer groups in the world, living near Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania. They preserve an ancestral way of life based on bow-and-arrow hunting, gathering tubers and fruits, and an egalitarian society passed down orally through the generations.

The Datoga Tribe: Also known as Mangáti in Swahili, this semi-nomadic agro-pastoral and blacksmithing people are of Nilotic speech and are considered the oldest tribe in Tanzania — a proud people with a reputation as the region's fiercest warriors.

Day 9 — Return Flight from Kilimanjaro International Airport

Your final day of adventure. Depending on your flight time, you can rest a little longer at the lodge before heading to Kilimanjaro International Airport for the journey home. Want more? You can extend your holiday on Zanzibar, Kiwengwa, Pemba or Unguja.
