After breakfast, view the great migration on a morning game drive. Transfer to the Kogatende airstrip for a flight to Serengeti Central Seronera and arrive for the evening game drive to the camp for dinner and overnight.
River crossings at Kogatende occur daily in August as the mega herd settles into the area. In August, September and October, game viewing up here is superb, with river crossings guaranteed daily. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses. It is common to see different herds crossing in different directions on the same day.

"The only living things that look like they really belonged to it are the wild animals. Between the animals and Africa, there is an understanding that human beings have not yet earned", Laurens van der Post, Venture to the Interior.
Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Masai Mara National Reserve across the border in Kenya, protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth. It is one of the last great migratory systems that are still intact. The Serengeti is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania's protected areas, which comprise 14% of the country's land area. This is a conservation record that few other countries can match.

A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life - this is the great migration. A frenzied 3-week bout of territorial conquests, mating, and survival of the fittest as 40km-long (25 miles) columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north. They replenish the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park, is also a World Heritage Site and was recently proclaimed a Seventh World Wonder. The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some 6 million hooves pound the open plains as more than 200,000 zebra, and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle join the wildebeests' trek for fresh grazing.

Breakfast at your camp is followed by a great morning game drive for your final chance to see the great migration and the river crossing. In the afternoon, transfer to Kogatende airstrip for your flight back to Arusha.
Explore the range of different habitats, including swamps, woodland, soda lakes and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra. Most of the wildebeest calves in a short time frame, around February, normally lasting about 3 weeks. The sea of grass provides little cover, and the young are easy pickings for a variety of predators.
