Day 2

Northern Serengeti National Park

Northern Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you'll enjoy a captivating game drive in the Northern Serengeti, a secluded and untouched part of the park nestled between the Central Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara. This remote region offers fewer crowds and stunning landscapes. Here, you'll witness the world’s largest mammal migration as massive herds of wildebeest continue their epic 800-kilometer journey. Drawn by the lush grasses of the plains during the rainy season, this area becomes a haven for calving due to clear predator visibility. However, as the plains dry, the herds push onward toward greener pastures, even venturing into the nutrient-scarce yet rain-rich northern reaches.
