This seven-day safari offers an extraordinary wildlife adventure, featuring a diverse range of unforgettable experiences. You’ll explore the remote and ethereal Lake Natron, home to pink flamingos and pelicans, set against the backdrop of the active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano—an area few have had the chance to visit. The journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural marvel with its unique, enclosed ecosystem teeming with wildlife, and the vast Serengeti Valley, famous for its migrating herds of wildebeest and zebras, along with its iconic cheetahs and lion prides. Each destination showcases something different, promising a truly spectacular safari!
This itinerary is best from July to October, when Lake Natron becomes a breeding ground for flamingos, and the Serengeti hosts the world-famous Great Migration. While the base program includes game drives in Seronera (central Serengeti), we can tailor the itinerary to fit your travel dates. Options include extended stays in Kogatende (Northern Serengeti) for a chance to witness the dramatic Mara River crossings in late July and August. Contact our travel managers to customize your journey (note: prices may vary with modifications).
