Northern Serengeti National Park

Today, you will venture deeper into the world-famous Serengeti on a full-day game drive in search of the great wildebeest migration.

You will base yourself around the Mara River area, where crocodiles prey and wildebeests gather and wait to cross. For days, their numbers will increase, and anticipation grows. However, for no apparent reason, many will turn and wander away from the water’s edge. Eventually, the wildebeest will choose a crossing point that varies yearly and cannot be predicted.

Nowhere in the world is there an animal movement as immense as the great wildebeest migration, and witnessing it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Your overnight stay is at Mara Kati Kati Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park.
