Overview

Discover a quieter side of the wild among the central Serengeti plains, the open Serengeti plains and the sheltered world of Ngorongoro. We can adjust the pace and stays to make it feel like your journey.

A private Fondness journey

Every journey is private, from $600 per person per day

Characterful lodges and classic tented camps inside the parks, chosen for location and view. More space, pools, and a slower, more private rhythm.

  • In-park lodges & classic tented camps
  • Prime locations with pools and viewing decks
  • Unhurried private game drives, flexible timing

Places along the way

These are the stops in the published route, not a fixed daily schedule. We will plan the pace, stays and travel connections together before you book.

  1. Stop 1

    Central Serengeti

    On the plains, the horizon seems to have no end. Linger with what unfolds, whether a distant herd, a bird in the grass or simply the light.

  2. Stop 2

    Serengeti National Park

    On the plains, the horizon seems to have no end. Linger with what unfolds, whether a distant herd, a bird in the grass or simply the light.

  3. Stop 3

    Ngorongoro Crater

    The crater opens below you like a world of its own. Take time to absorb its scale before finding a quieter corner with your guide.

The Serengeti migration

Timing the herds: where to be, how long to stay, and when to fly

The migration moves across the Serengeti all year. Our full guide shows where the herds are each month, why we hold to a two-night minimum in every migration area (three in the north), and why we fly you into the northern Serengeti instead of driving a full day each way.

  • Two-night minimumWe never sell single-night migration stops — one afternoon and one morning is not enough to find the herds.
  • Fly into the northA two-hour flight to Kogatende beats 9–11 hours on rough road and gives you back nearly two full game days.
