3 Days Tanzania Safari in June to Serengeti and Ngorongoro

June marks the beginning of the dry season when the Great Migration starts moving toward the Western Corridor. You will likely see massive herds of wildebeest and zebras congregating near water sources. Predators are also highly active during this month as they follow the moving prey across the plains.

While the days are generally sunny and pleasant, the early mornings and nights in June can be quite chilly. This is especially true on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater where temperatures often drop significantly. We recommend packing layers, including a warm fleece and a windproof jacket for the dawn game drives.

This itinerary is designed to maximize your chances by visiting the areas with the highest animal density. The Ngorongoro Crater is a sanctuary for the rare black rhino, while the Serengeti is famous for its lions and leopards. Our experienced guides are experts at tracking these iconic species to give you the best possible viewing experience.

Yes, we can easily add a sunrise hot air balloon flight to your second morning in the Serengeti. This extra activity provides a breathtaking perspective of the vast savannah and the migrating herds from above. After landing, you will enjoy a traditional champagne bush breakfast before continuing with your ground game drives.

We use specially modified 4x4 Land Cruisers equipped with pop-up roofs for 360-degree viewing and photography. The vehicles feature internal charging ports for your electronics, a small fridge for cold drinks, and high-quality binoculars for shared use. Each car also carries reference books to help you identify the birds and animals you encounter.

We can certainly adjust the final day to include a cultural visit to a Maasai boma near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This visit allows you to learn about traditional customs, see their unique homes, and experience local dances firsthand. It is a wonderful way to add a human element to your wildlife-focused journey through Tanzania.

During June, the wildebeest herds typically move from the central plains toward the Western Corridor and the Grumeti River. This period is famous for the early river crossings and the dramatic predator-prey interactions that occur. Your guide will focus on these specific zones to ensure you get a front-row seat to this natural spectacle.

All our packages include full-board meals that range from fresh breakfasts to multi-course dinners. We can easily accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or Halal diets if you notify us at the time of booking. Our chefs at the lodges and camps take great pride in serving healthy and delicious food prepared with local ingredients.

This trip is an excellent option for families because the high density of animals in June keeps children engaged and excited. We provide child-friendly vehicles and can adjust the pace of the game drives to suit the comfort of younger travelers. It is a highly educational experience that creates lasting memories for both parents and kids alike.

We can certainly modify the package to include a flight from Arusha directly into a Serengeti airstrip. This alteration significantly reduces travel time on the first day and allows you to start your game viewing almost immediately upon arrival. It is a popular choice for those who want to maximize their time in the wild while minimizing road transit.
