TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival in Arusha
You will be picked up from the airport by a Plex Africa Safari 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 colorful 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.
5 Day Ndutu Calving season Serengeti Migration Tanzania Safari
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.

Step into the heart of Africa’s wilderness, where golden savannahs stretch endlessly, kissed by the horizon.

Here, every moment whispers a story of resilience and interconnectedness, reminding us that we, too, are part of this grand tapestry of life. Let the Serengeti awaken your spirit and inspire your soul.

Ngorongoro Crater: Nature’s Perfect Haven
Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is a natural masterpiece—a sanctuary where life thrives in perfect harmony. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, often called the “Garden of Eden,” boasts breathtaking landscapes, from lush green plains to sparkling soda lakes. Home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five, the crater is a reminder of nature’s abundance and resilience.
Standing on the rim, gazing into this ancient caldera, you can’t help but feel connected to the earth’s wild beauty. Ngorongoro is not just a destination; it’s a journey into the soul of Africa’s wilderness. 🌿🦁

Great First Safari Experience! - What differentiated Plex from the other companies for us was their responsiveness during the booking process, also in the run-up to the safari starting and the transfer arrangements before and... read more after. Eddy always provided the required information and reassurance exactly when we needed it, regarding all of the key arrangements.
When we arrived in Neyere we were met off the plane by the Guide (Omary) and Driver (Keresa) and the safari began almost immediately as we drove into the National Park and began to observe a wonderful array of animals. Omary was extremely knowledgeable regarding their identification and behaviour (which included the stunning birdlife). He was also flexible and adapted to what we wanted to see (this included the wonderful old Baobab trees that he knew I loved). He also has great observational skills and was able to identify highly camouflaged rare birds from a long distance (e.g. Nightjar).
We stayed at the Selous Safari Lodge which we would also highly recommend. The staff were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Breakfast and dinner were also of a high standard.
Overall we had a great experience with Plex and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other people who are looking for a great African safari experience!BARRY L
November 18, 2024Wonderful experience - What am amazing experience our 2 day safari was. I spent ages researching and was pleased to choose Plex. Edward, was great in responding really quickly to any questions... read more I had, all the staff were so friendly and helpful from Morris who dropped and collected us to the airport, to our safari guide Jafari, our drivers Eugenio, G and captain Kasimi in the boat they all ensured we had the best experience. All arrangements were stress free and were seamless.
The safari day inside the park was one we’ll never forget, we saw Giraffes, Antelopes, Impalas, Warthogs, Wilderbeast, Zebras, Hippos , Crocodiles, Baboons and our favourite Elephants. Our driver Eugenio was fantastic at taking us off the main roads to have the best chance of seeing so many animals and Jafari our guide was very knowledgable and informative. All the food was delicious and drinks were provided on the jeep. We were met at 8.30am off the plane and were dropped at the Selous lodge at 6.30pm, it was a whole day driving vast distances around the park, and the scenery and animals were fantastic. The Selous lodge was lovely, with a pool so a wonderful place to unwind. All the staff again were so friendly and helpful. Day 2 Jafari picked us up again and we went on a boat safari seeing hippos, crocodiles, and lots of wonderful birds, followed by a village tour to get a feel of local life in Tanzania and a school visit with lots of wonderfully curious children keen to show us their English and counting skills.
We had such an amazing experience, the Plex staff really did do their utmost to ensure we had a fantastic time. We felt it was good value for money. Just bear in mind the extra tips for the drivers, guide, captain etc It’s been the highlight of our holiday and an experience we’ll never forget. Thanks Plex!waders10

Amazing experience seeing wild animals up close - Plex Africa arranged everything 100% perfect. We were in a two day trip in Nyerere National Park. Communication was smooth, taxi drivers were right in time for pick up, speak... read more good English and are polite and professional. We travelled with two heavy luggage full of diving gear. The luggage was too big to take in the small plane so our driver Morris offered to take them to his home and picked us up next day from the airport with the luggage and drove to our hotel. In Nyerere our guide Songoro went over and beyond for finding the best spots to see animals and action up close during the game drive. I can highly recommend!

November 4, 2024An unforgettable adventure! - We did a one-day safari with Plex Africa Safari. From the first communication everything went smoothly. The questions we asked for the organization of our day trip were answered quickly... read more and correctly. Everything was well organised, from the pick-up at the hotel, the safari and the return journey to our hotel. The safari was amazing. Jafari was our amazing guide and took our wishes into account. He answered all of our questions and was very patient when we took photos. Jafari also had a lot of knowledge of the animals that live in Nyerere and told us all about them with lots of enthousiasm. Breakfast at the Baobab tree was super nice and lunch was very tasty. We would definitely recommend this day trip and our guide to any nature lovers.
