TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival in Arusha
You will be picked up from the airport by a GreyJoy Tours representative and conveyed to your accommodation in Arusha where you will overnight, relax, and prepare in anticipation of the serengeti migration adventures to come.
Day 2 Tarangire National Park
The Tarangire River, meandering through the park, attracts an abundance of wildlife, from elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, antelope, to a myriad variety of colourful birds. With a stop for a picnic lunch in an observatory inside the park where we may view animals imbibing the refreshing waters of the river, with oft times lions attacking a thirsty zebra or wildebeest.
Day 3 Serengeti National Park
mile park inhabited by more than three million large animals including more than 1. 5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebra, and a 500,000 Thomson`s gazelle. After lunch we continue with the game drive en-route to the Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp where we dine in comfort, take a drink by the outdoor fire with hyena slinking past, and recall our day beneath the endless African sky before finally turning in.
Day 4 Serengeti National Park Central
This whole day we will spend on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south while during the longer rainy season from April to June they return back up north.
Day 5 Serengeti National Park > Following the Serengeti Migration
On these days our fifth and sixth, we will rumble our way across the Serengeti`s vast plains in search of the migration. The location of the migration depends on the time of the year and could be as far as the remote North of the Serengeti near the border with Kenya, or alternatively, in the South, the Ndutu Region.
Day 6 Serengeti National Park
After our hearty breakfast a full day exploring The Serengeti National Park lies ahead of us with both morning and afternoon game drives.
Day 7 Serengeti to Ngorongoro
After breakfast we enjoy yet another game drive in the Serengeti National Park and we may well spot animals not yet encountered over the last two days. This approximate 20 km wide crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to over 25,000 animals, is the best place of all to see these creatures in their true state, natural and wild.
Day 8 Ngorongoro crater
Very early on this, our last morning, we descend down onto the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most incredible places on Earth. After a stop for our delectable picnic lunch near the hippo lake and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, we ascend, surely sated, up the steep road out of the crater for our return to Arusha and the inevitable end of our adventure.
Day 9 Lake Manyara National Park
This relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha, is so named for the shallow salt lake which covers a good seventy percent of the parks surface area. After another memorable game drive we, with our adventure at an end, return to Arusha in the late afternoon, replete with images of the African wilds to last a lifetime. this will mark the end of Serengeti migration safari.

GUEST REVIEWS
Adam M
We just got back from an amazing 4-day Safari with Greyjoy tours . The company really stands out with their outstanding level of service! The office was very helpful in customizing our trip to our needs and our budget. Our guide, Eugen, was very very experienced, he told us every single detail about the animals and background information about the national parks. Above any expectations, he served every day a super delicious lunch in a great scenery. Honestly, the lunches organized by Greyjoy were by far the best food we had in Tanzania! Eugen even cleaned the Safari Jeep every day, not that we have expected that at all. And last but not least he has a very good sense of humorSo if you are looking for an unbeatable safari experience in Tanzania look no further and go with Greyjoy tours & Safari and ask for Eugen as guide!
