10 nights
Private Safari
Southern Migration Classic
Arusha, Southern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater
This trip starts in Arusha. The international flights often arrive very late in Arusha, which makes an overnight stay in Arusha necessary.

Our guide will pick you up - you have the whole vehicle only for yourselves. In our vehicles there are 4-6 seats, a cooler box, a charging station for electronic devices, enlarged front windows and of course the roof hatch for photographing. We also carry tables and chairs for picnics in the bush.

Your driver / guide will visit with you those areas that are particularly good from December to March, which is the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. We chose beautiful and very private lodges in the middle of the parks - just like a real safari should be. In the Serengeti we cover all areas where the Great Migration could take place during this time in order to increase the chance to almost 100% that you witness the Great Migration in one place or another.

By Vehicle Travel by road to Entamanu Ngorongoro
2 nights Entamanu Ngorongoro, Ngorongoro Crater

Perched high on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim, Entamanu Ngorongor offers sensational views of the crater floor. It consists of Entamanu Ngorongoro with seven rooms and Entamanu Private with four rooms. The two camps are right next to each other, but each has its own main building and they are run separately.

Entamanu's cottages are built elevated on wooden platforms. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with dressing rooms, a large bedroom and a long terrace with seating. Heating is available for the colder days. Please remember that the lodge is located at an altitude of 2,200m and weather can be chilly. Two of the rooms are family rooms with two en-suite bedrooms each.

Location
Entamanu is situated on the north-western edge of the crater rim, miles from any other lodge and therefore enjoys a very exclusive location. Accessed only by way of a private road that follows the contours of the rim, even the drive to get there is breathtaking, allowing great views of the Serengeti in the west. Shortly before reaching camp, the access road leads steeply up through a secretive forest, at the end of which the Entamanu team awaits you.

Access to the crater is via Seneto Descent, about a 30min drive from the lodge and another 30min drive down to the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera with 19km in diameter and walls 600m high. Its floor covers 260 square kilometres and acts like a natural zoo, providing food for a high resident animal population.

The list includes wildebeest, eland, hartebeest, zebra, gazelle, buffalo, rhinos and warthog. Moors and forests provide food for hippo, elephant, baboon, waterbuck and bushbuck. Big cat such as lion, cheetah, leopard and serval find rich pickings here. Large packs of hyena also roam the crater, hunting or pinching the prey of other predators.
