Embark on a thrilling 6-day journey through the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness with Timon Safaris’ “6 Days – Migration Tracking Safari”. The voyage will provide you with an unparalleled chance to trace the epic journey of the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles.
The safari starts in the vibrant city of Arusha, nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, providing a cultural introduction to the adventure ahead. Known as the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, Arusha is rich in Tanzania’s captivating culture and history.
You’ll then head to the Central Serengeti, the famed Seronera area. Known as the ‘classic Serengeti’ landscape, it offers high chances of spotting big cats and a year-round wildlife display due to its unique ecological niche in the park’s heart. Your eyes will be drawn to the endless plains and the rich wildlife diversity, a mesmerizing start to your migration-tracking journey.
As you journey north, the Serengeti will continue to captivate with its changing landscapes. The Northern Serengeti, quieter and less frequented, offers a unique charm. This region is the setting for the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration, an event not to be missed. It is an emotional and thrilling spectacle as thousands of wildebeests and zebras brave the Mara River’s treacherous currents and lurking predators.
While in the Northern Serengeti, expect to encounter a remarkable concentration of wildlife. From majestic herds of elephants and buffalo to the elusive leopard and packs of lions, these game drives will etch unforgettable images in your mind. The region’s wealth of bird species will also delight birdwatchers.
Optional activities include walking safaris, an intimate way to connect with the African bush, and hot air balloon safaris, offering a unique bird’s eye view of the sprawling Serengeti. Visit the local Maasai village, where you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Tanzania’s indigenous cultures, a unique way to enhance your safari experience.
The journey circles back to the Central Serengeti, where you can continue to explore this remarkable ecosystem and further delve into the lives of its inhabitants. With an option to spot the rare rhino, the journey through the Serengeti with Timon Safaris promises to leave you unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Every day, you’ll find comfort in the accommodations of your chosen package, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum, each offering varying levels of luxury to match your preferences. All meals during the safari are included, promising a delightful exploration of Tanzania’s culinary culture.
