Overview
The best chance of seeing the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is during June and July and the time to see the wildebeest calving is late January to February. The southern and western circuit parks are best visited during the Dry season (June to October), unlike the more popular northern circuit parks that can be visited year-round. Tarangire is the only exception since its wildlife viewing is considerably better in the Dry season as well.

Starting early, you have a full day to explore the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic crater that is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife including a very dense population of lions and spotted hyenas. You are almost guaranteed to see all of the ‘big five’ (lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo) as well as a great variety of other species; by now children will be very accomplished ‘wildlife spotters’. The views are superb, from the first glimpse of the crater at ‘Heroes’ Point’, through the thick rain forest that covers its sides, down to the rich grassy plains that form its Centre. The combination of natural scenery and wildlife is truly breathtaking.

After breakfast depart for the Serengeti National Park. Along the way, you will stop at the Olduvai Gorge. This is a steep-sided ravine in the heart of the Great Rift Valley and is famous for the variety of early hominid fossils that have been found here. There is an excellent museum; it is very small (perfect for the kids!) but informative and well worth the stop. Also, stop en route to visit a local Masai boma and meet some of the people who live there. You will have an afternoon game drive in Serengeti
Overnight at Lemamala Nanyukie Lodge
A full day to explore the Serengeti with both morning and afternoon game drives, following the great migration
The Serengeti National Park is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania’s game parks and offers arguably the best game viewing in Africa. The setting is perfect – a sea of endless plains that stretches to the horizon, dotted with the occasional acacia tree and termite mound. This savannah is home to huge herds of buffalo that every year make the mass migration north, through crocodile infested rivers, in a frenzied mixture of mating and galloping that is driven by instinct.
Prides of lion rule here, their hungry gaze sweeping the savannah for a chance to attack the thousands of eland, impala and gazelle. Solitary leopard stakes out their place in the high branches of the acacia tree and herds of elephants’ roam at will. This is the Africa that you have always dreamed about.
