Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our safari driver-guide will be waiting to greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. After check-in, take time to relax and recover from your journey. You can explore Arusha’s vibrant atmosphere or simply unwind at the hotel in preparation for the adventure ahead. Overnight stay in Arusha.
After an early breakfast, embark on a scenic drive toward Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking landscapes and possible wildlife sightings. Upon arrival in the central Serengeti (Seronera region), enjoy a game drive in search of predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as large herbivores such as elephants, giraffes, and zebras. Overnight stay at a lodge or tented camp in Serengeti.
Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti plains, following the migration route based on the season. Depending on the time of year, you may witness vast herds of wildebeest and zebras, as well as hyenas, hippos, baboons, and countless bird species. The Seronera Valley is an excellent location to spot big cats as they prey on the migrating herds. A picnic lunch will be served in the wilderness, followed by more wildlife viewing before returning to camp for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, set out for another exhilarating game drive, following the migration route as the herds move across the plains. You will witness thousands of animals moving in unison, creating one of the most breathtaking sights in nature. The park is home to approximately 1.3 million wildebeest, 250,000 gazelles, and 200,000 zebras, along with countless predators lurking nearby. In the late afternoon, return to camp for a relaxing evening under the African sky.
Enjoy a morning game drive in Serengeti before heading toward Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping en route at Olduvai Gorge, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. Here, you will learn about the fascinating discoveries made by Louis and Mary Leakey, including some of the earliest known human fossils. Arrive at your lodge on the crater rim in the late afternoon and enjoy a breathtaking sunset overlooking Ngorongoro Crater.
After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters (2,000 feet) into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular wildlife havens on Earth. The crater is home to a diverse range of ecosystems, from grasslands and forests to lakes and swamps, supporting an incredible concentration of wildlife. Keep an eye out for the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino), as well as hippos, flamingos, and large herds of grazers. After an unforgettable safari experience, enjoy a picnic lunch before ascending the crater rim and driving back to your lodge.
After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your departure flight. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for a short city tour in Arusha or a visit to a local market for souvenirs. This marks the end of your incredible 7-day Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari. Safe travels!

Ljubica B2025-01-14Verified Absolutely incredible and a bucket list item checked! Incredible experience. My friends and I had a goal of reaching Uhuru Peak of Mt Kilimanjaro on New Years Day and to see the first sunrise of 2025 on top of the mountain and that is exactly what we got. Our guides were incredible. Setting a great pace that allowed us to walk for longer periods without too many breaks. They were so knowledgeable and very considerate and caring of our wellbeing. Overall a wonderful experience and I would recommend Leken Adventure to anyone attempting to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Xavier M2025-01-10Verified 10 Day Kilimanjaro, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Extravaganza Wow, just wow, what an amazing experience.Guided by Aggrey, Benny and Atana, myself a 4 friends undertook the 7-day machame route to climb Kilimanjaro. They were incredibly knowledgeable, kind and astute guides, and made sure we were happy and safe at all times. Supported by Samson, Eli, Patrick, Bruce and many others, we were incredibly well fed and looked after. This culminated in a successful summit day with all 5 of us topping out, with only minor altitude struggles.Asante sana once again to all you amazing people.We were then looked after by Joachim for two days and shown around the Tarangire national park and the Ngorongoro crater. We saw all sorts of animals but the highlights were several big herds of big elephants and an almost touching distance encounter with 3 lions (their trajectory was skilfully predicted by Joachim).I could not recommend Leken more to anymore looking for an adventure in East Africa. abl2025-01-07Verified Amazing Kilimanjaro and safari tour I had an amazing Kilimanjaro and safari tour with Leken Adventure. Alex ensured a seamless trip with a well-planned itinerary. Thanks to the professional guides, I reached Uhuru Peak and saw the Big Five. Highly recommend! Alessandro R2024-12-08Verified Kilimanjaro trip We have climbed Kilimanjaro through Marangu Route (6 days). It has been a great and emotional experience. Our guides ( Aggrey and Leonard) were amazing and professional. A mention also to all the porters that help us during this adventure. Really recommended.Also the accommodation before and after the hike is very good. Abigail S2024-11-08Verified DON'T HESITATE- BOOK IT. Amazing!! We booked with Leken about a year before our travel. They were very responsive and informative with all our questions—and we had a lot! The support was impressive from the time we booked, throughout our travels and continued after we left. They easily accommodated a few glitches during our trip. I found them very responsive, affordable and reliable.We summited Kilimanjaro via the Machame route, a seven-day trek. Our guide, Aggrey, was outstanding! He and his team—guides Ben and Jose, Chef Eduardo, assistant George, and all the amazing porters—supported our trek to the top with encouragement, excellent food, laughs, stories, singing and smiles. One of our group had the sole of his hiking boot fall off on day 2 of our trek. Eduardo SEWED IT BACK ON! With what? How? I have no idea, but it held through to day seven and allowed us all to summit together. They were a true dream team! We were then taken on an amazing 4 day safari with guide Joachim and our chef, Inocent. Muah!! THE ANIMALS!! THE BEAUTY OF THIS COUNTRY CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. If you are taking the time to go to this part of the world, just go ahead take the time to go on Safari. You will not regret it. Camping in Serengeti National park was an activity of a lifetime. We misunderstood our dates, and found on our arrival that we would have an extra day in Africa after our adventures. Leken scheduled us an activity on that day with transport, lunch and a second night in our hotel at minimal expense. That last day was swimming in a true local osasis that we we never could have experienced without them. This company is not offering the fancy or luxurious packages that the expensive companies tout, but all the accommodations were more than adequate and the customer service of every single person affiliated with Leken was 5 star. Marina T2024-09-26Verified climbing Kilimanjaro Vary good organisation of our whole Kilimanjaro experience. Without Aggre Mhalu and Leonard Lyimo, I would not have achieved my dream of being on top of Africa. Everyone who took care of us was extremely helpful, caring and positive. Highly recommend, these are your Kilimanjaro people! Яна Ч2024-09-24Verified The best experience ever Big thanks to the entire team that took care of us during the Kilimanjaro adventure. Especially to our guides Aggre and Leonard, who were with us and provided us with an incredible experience." Melissa M2024-08-15Verified Amazing adventure Me and my boyfriend decided to climb Kilimangiaro almost a year ago. During all this time we were followed in every request. Even during the adventure, the team supported us with every problem and helped us during the most intense times. The food was delicious, we never felt hungry!The guides are well prepared and kind.If we managed to do the climb is also thanks to them! Dressed t2024-08-14Verified Strong team and wonder safari We have gone with Leken Adv. to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a 4 days safari. Everything just goes way better than our expectation. Me and my wife just finished a safari in Masai Mara and forced to change the original Kilimanjaro trekking to safari for personal reasons. We actually did not expect that much, as this could be very similar to what we had in Masai Mara. But things are not so after we spent the four days with our chef and our guide.We told our guide, Anwar, to show us more small animals and birds as the beginning, cause we have seen the big five. I knew it’s very hard, cause the grass is just too long after the rain season. But he had made it! Sometimes, we just didn’t know why we stopped the car, until he shown us what’s going on with some tiny animals in the near.Also I should say, Leken Adv. is a strong team, there could always be this and that issue during the safari, but our guide is always able to find someone helpful. One more thing, don’t feel bad about camping in Simba campsite, especially after you read about the reviews in TripAdvisor about that place. The facility is not perfect, but you will have a chance that a zebra, a warthog or even a rhino just sleeps (or runs) 5 metre away from your sleep bag. The only separation is the wall of the camp. This is something you won’t have elsewhere!Again, thank you so much to the whole team of Leken! Vadim C2024-07-27Verified A unique experience, reliable organizer, i recommend! We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on the Machame route and we did two days of safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater Nature Park. Everything was well organized, Asante Sana!
