2 Days Wildebeest Migration Safari From Arusha

WILDEBEEST MIGRATION SAFARI

Every year, the vast herds of wildebeest embark on a long-distance migration that coincides with the annual rainfall patterns and grass growth. Following the short rainy season in November, the herds of wildebeest arrive on the short-grass plains of the Serengeti around November. The short-grass plains are located in the area east and south of the Seronera, around Ndutu, and the northern Ngorongoro Conservation area. Herds of wildebeest and zebra can be seen across these plains as they feed on the nutrient-rich grasses. The majority of the wildebeest calf around February. They normally stay in the area till April and then start moving west towards the Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park.

This 2-day Migration wildlife safari package has been designed specifically to focus on and to increase your chance to see the great Serengeti wildebeest migration. We have designed the itinerary to include the Lake Ndutu area, southern Serengeti where the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found from December through to April. The itinerary also includes a visit to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 01: ARUSHA – NDUTU VIA NGORONGORO CRATER

Pick up from Arusha early in the morning and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. On our arrival we descend over 600 meters into the crater to view the magnificent wildlife into the crater, Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque Conservation area is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the
crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. After a wonderful game drive, we will ascend from the crater and drive to the Ndutu area for the evening Migration safari before heading to the accommodation for dinner and overnight.
