We will have a picnic at a site in the Mara River, bordering the Serengeti. The river is part of the Masai Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, which is particularly known for the largest wildlife migration on earth. Every year, wildebeests, zebras and antelopes form huge animal trains cross the brown, foaming river full of crocodiles.
