Arusha is a fascinating city where you’ll find modern office buildings, 5 star hotels and upmarket coffee shops, alongside busy markets selling fruit, vegetables, fish and meat. Within the city centre you’ll see women wearing brightly coloured dresses either walking along the streets carrying huge baskets on their heads or sitting on the side of the roads selling huge avocados or cooking corn on the cob on a fire, and you will also see Maasai men walking around in their traditional shukas.

The park is known for its tree-climbing lions, plus you may be lucky enough to spot leopards and hyenas. You can also expect to see are large herds of elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and impala.

Day 4-6 Serengeti Migration Safari

Every year, over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate north from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River which runs through the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Kenyan side and the Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian side. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra! If you're visiting the Serengeti at the right time you’ll see herds of wildebeest and zebra stretching to the horizon and you may be lucky enough to see the dramatic river crossings. Our Luxury Travel Specialists have in-depth experience of the migration and they will plan your holiday to ensure that you’re at the right place at the right time.
