8-Day Great Migration Luxury Fly-In Safari
Tour Overview
This is the premium migration product in the fly-in collection. The Serengeti sector is chosen according to the month, and the accommodation follows that geography instead of forcing one permanent camp into every season. A final Ngorongoro night adds a contrasting ecosystem and luxury lodge experience before departure.

Itinerary
8 planned days
Day 1Arrival in Arusha
Arusha
Destination: Arusha Meet the Pori & Beyond Safaris team on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfer to your hotel. This first day is deliberately light so you can recover from the international journey, review the route with the safari team and confirm luggage, dietary and flight details. If arrival is early, a gentle optional Arusha activity can be arranged, but the itinerary does not force a long park transfer on the same day.
Night accommodation: Gran Meliá Arusha or Legendary Lodge
Day 2Fly from Arusha to Central Serengeti
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti Transfer to the airport for a scheduled light-aircraft flight into the Serengeti. On landing, meet the safari guide and begin wildlife viewing directly from the airstrip, turning the transfer to camp into the first game drive. Flying removes a long road sector and is especially useful for short itineraries. Exact departure times, baggage limits and airstrip routing remain subject to the operating airline.
Night accommodation: Seasonal premium migration camp or Sayari Camp
Day 3Seasonal Great Migration Safari
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti Follow a seasonally positioned Serengeti safari plan. The preferred sector may be Ndutu and the southern plains in the calving period, central or western areas during transitional months, or northern Serengeti during the dry-season migration period. The route is chosen for your dates rather than marketed as one fixed wildlife location. The full day is kept flexible so the guide can respond to current herd information and road conditions.
Night accommodation: Seasonal premium migration camp or Sayari Camp
Day 4Seasonal Great Migration Safari
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti Follow a seasonally positioned Serengeti safari plan. The preferred sector may be Ndutu and the southern plains in the calving period, central or western areas during transitional months, or northern Serengeti during the dry-season migration period. The route is chosen for your dates rather than marketed as one fixed wildlife location. The full day is kept flexible so the guide can respond to current herd information and road conditions.
Night accommodation: Seasonal premium migration camp or Sayari Camp
Day 5Full Day in Central Serengeti
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti Spend a complete day exploring the central Serengeti, using early morning and late afternoon conditions for strong wildlife opportunities. The guide follows current animal movement rather than a rigid circuit, with time around kopjes, river valleys and open plains. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and large plains-game herds are possible, but no specific sighting is guaranteed. Lunch can be taken in the field or at camp according to the day plan.
Night accommodation: Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti or Meliá Serengeti Lodge
Day 6Full Day in Central Serengeti
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti Spend a complete day exploring the central Serengeti, using early morning and late afternoon conditions for strong wildlife opportunities. The guide follows current animal movement rather than a rigid circuit, with time around kopjes, river valleys and open plains. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and large plains-game herds are possible, but no specific sighting is guaranteed. Lunch can be taken in the field or at camp according to the day plan.
Night accommodation: Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti or Meliá Serengeti Lodge
Day 7Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands
Serengeti
Destination: Serengeti / Ngorongoro Begin with wildlife viewing in the Serengeti before travelling toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey changes gradually from open plains to cooler highlands and should be treated as a transfer-and-game-drive day rather than a short road hop. Depending on timing, optional cultural or archaeological stops can be quoted separately. Arrive near the crater rim or Karatu with enough time to rest before the crater safari.
Night accommodation: Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá Collection or comparable
Day 8Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Departure
Ngorongoro
Destination: Ngorongoro Enter the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning-to-midday safari, using the cooler hours for wildlife viewing before climbing out of the caldera. After lunch, continue to Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport or the next confirmed connection. The final transfer is planned conservatively; international flight timings should leave enough margin for road conditions and park formalities.
Night accommodation: No overnight unless an extension is booked
