Day 5
Full Day in Northern Serengeti - Kogatende (Migration Day)
Full Day in Northern Serengeti - Kogatende (Migration Day)
Today we spend our day in Kogatende area searching one of the greatest wildlife shows on the planet, the annual Great Migration.
Every year around 1.5 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebra (along with other antelope) gather up their young and start their long trek from Tanzania's Serengeti Plains, further north to Maasai Mara National Reserve, following the rains in search of food and water. Their journey runs in a clockwise circle and the animals cover a distance of around 3000km, a tough journey that takes the lives of an estimated 250 000 wildebeest as they cross rivers and suffer constant attacks from crocodiles, lion and other predators.
There can be no guarantee of encountering the migration (there exact route is never really known and it is amazing how a million animals can disappear in the vast savannah), our journey is intended to try and follow the migration as it tracks northwards. After a full day on safari, you will return at your camp for dinner and a good night rest.
