Northern Serengeti National Park

As usual, you will start your day with a hearty breakfast and depart by 8:00 AM. From mid-June to October, this region becomes a focal point for witnessing the Great Migration. During these months, the Mara River is renowned for its dramatic river crossings. The river, swollen from heavy rains, poses a significant challenge to the migrating wildebeest, who must navigate its fierce currents. Observing the wildebeest as they struggle through the torrent, with some succumbing to the river's dangers or falling prey to lurking crocodiles, is an awe-inspiring experience. If fortune is on your side, you will have the chance to witness this natural spectacle. Throughout the full-day game drive, you will have a break for a picnic lunch. The day will conclude with an overnight stay at a campsite.
