A Signature Experience by Simba Soul Destinations
Follow the footsteps of the Great Migration in style. This safari captures dramatic river crossings, predator action, and endless plains. With stays in seasonal luxury camps near the Mara River and crater-edge lodges, this journey is perfect for witnessing nature’s greatest wildlife show — in absolute comfort.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, a private Simba Soul Destinations representative will greet you and escort you to a premium lodge in Arusha. Nestled among lush gardens or on a working coffee estate, you’ll unwind in luxury. Enjoy a welcome drink, a delicious dinner, and a personalized safari briefing under the stars.
After breakfast, board a scenic bush flight to the remote Northern Serengeti, where the migration is in full swing (July–October). Your Simba Soul guide will be waiting for you at the airstrip. Head straight into the wild with an en-route game drive to your luxury camp near the Mara River. This area teems with wildebeest, zebras, crocodiles, and predators. Settle into your tented suite with views over the plains and enjoy an elegant dinner by firelight.
Rise early and spend the day exploring the Mara River ecosystem, where thousands of wildebeest plunge into crocodile-infested waters. Simba Soul Destinations ensures you’re in the best position to witness these dramatic moments, with a private vehicle and expert tracker. After a full-day safari and bush picnic lunch, return to camp for sundowners and stories around the fire.
Soar above the Serengeti at sunrise on an unforgettable hot air balloon safari (included). Watch the land come alive from above, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. The rest of the day is yours to relax at camp, enjoy spa services, or take a light afternoon game drive. Sunset drinks and a chef-prepared dinner await.
Today, drive south to the Central Serengeti, famous for its dense predator population and iconic kopjes. Game drive en route, tracking lions, cheetahs, and leopards in golden grasslands. Arrive at your stylish lodge or tented suite with expansive views of the savannah. Enjoy a candlelit dinner and share highlights with your guide.
Leave the Serengeti behind as you journey towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at the Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of mankind, for a brief cultural and archaeological visit. Your evening is spent at a luxury lodge on the crater rim, offering sweeping views and fine dining in a magical setting.
Descend into the world’s largest intact caldera — the Ngorongoro Crater. In just one day, spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, flamingos, and perhaps a rare black rhino. Simba Soul Destinations provides a private picnic near a hippo pool for a peaceful, scenic lunch. Return to your lodge for a farewell dinner and final night in the wild.
After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drive or optional flight back to Arusha. Depending on your departure time, visit local craft markets or relax with a farewell lunch. Simba Soul Destinations ensures your smooth transfer to the airport or your next destination — carrying memories that will last a lifetime.
