Description

The annual wildebeest migration in northern Tanzania and Kenya is one of the most incredible wildlife events in the world. Head to the Serengeti and stay in mobile tented camps to follow the action.

Itinerary 

After a short drive from Arusha Airport, you’ll arrive at Katambuga House for an overnight stay. Katambuga House is located at the edge of the Mringa Coffee Estate and boasts the most beautiful gardens, lush lawns and stunning views of Mount Meru.

 

As the first stop in your Tanzanian safari, and just 10 minutes from the city centre, this is the perfect place to head out to explore the town if you have enough time. If you’d rather take it easy, enjoy a delicious dinner on the poolside deck overlooking the gardens, under a canopy of stars, before the next day’s travel to Karatu.

Gibb’s Farm is the perfect place to welcome you to the wonderful region of Karatu. Located halfway between Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, the lodge offers breathtaking scenery and wildlife, as well as unique cultural activities.

 

From here you can easily either visit the world famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area or Lake Manyara National Park, both only a 2-hour drive from Gibb’s Farm. For a one-night stay, the cosy and inviting cottages, with private verandas and stone fireplaces scattered across the spacious grounds, make for the perfect place to relax before heading off to Serengeti National Park.

You’ll wake up early and be transferred to the Serengeti to spend three days at Olakira Migration Camp, exploring the spectacular safari region that is the Serengeti National Park. Olakira Migration Camp is a mobile tented camp that moves according to the wildebeest migration. When Olakira is in the south of the Serengeti (mid-December to April) you will drive from Gibb’s Farm, but when it is located in the north, you’ll hop on a short flight from Lake Manyara Airstrip. Either way, you’ll be in prime position to witness the excitement and thrill of the Great Migration as you head out on unforgettable game drives during the day.

 

At night Olakira comes into its own, as the incredible constellations of the African night sky reveal themselves. The specially designed stargazing tents offer 270-degree view from beneath a meshed net, and a magical experience of sleeping beneath the stars. This is the perfect way to end an incredible Great Migration safari before heading back home.

On your final morning, you will be dropped at the nearest airstrip before catching a light aircraft flight back to Kilimanjaro for your onward journey

My experience with Roger as a tourist guide in Uganda Awsome experience! We traveled around Uganda and saw animals, climbed Mt.Elgon and visited a tribe. Our guide was very genuine and funny. The only thing I would have liked more is a breifing of the day. Other than that I totally recommend Roger as a Tourist Guide!!

Murchison falls - a 3 day customized safari tour The Game Ranger Tours team took us to a three day safari to the Murchison falls - the national park in the north-western Uganda. The owner of the travel agency - Roger - prepared a customized programme for us. We left Kampala at about 1 pm and drove for about six hours to the park to catch the last ferry to the other side of Nile at 7pm. After crossing the river, we were accommodated in a beautiful lodge called Paraa Safari. Next morning we started early to safari game drive across the savannah grassland. Our tour guide and driver - Juuko knew every road in the park. He took us to places where we saw giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeests, antelopes, kobs, elephants and many more wild animals and birds. The drive was a fantastic experience we'll never forget. In the afternoon we got back to the lodge to have lunch and then at about 3 pm took a boat to the falls - so beautiful nature sight! On the third day, before heading back to Kampala Roger and Juuko took us to the top of the falls where we could actually see how powerfull and strong the waterfall is! On our way to Kampala we visited the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary too and were lucky to see a baby rhino and its parents. After the three full days of adventure, we safely returned to the capital. Thank you so much, Roger and Juuko, for taking care of us and for showing us how beautiful Uganda is. Hope to see you again!

My woderful stay in Entebbe and Uganda During my stay in Entebbe, I eas able to fufil my childhood dreams, namely to touch the waters of Victoria Lake and, then, to travel to the soirces of the Nile. My best tour guide was, of course, Ras. His name has got a powerful meaning in Ethiopian, i.e. Prince. He is a genuine prince by heart, character and manner. To me, Entebbe is the city of God. Uganda and Tanzania are the countries to which I would always come back. If Africa has its heart, then the heart's two chambers are Tanzania and Uganda. To all white people like me, I wpuld like to say that the cradle of the mankind is to be found in Africa. My skin is white, but my heart is black. And I ma proud of it.
