Day 2

Northern Serengeti National Park Game Drive

Northern Serengeti National Park Game Drive

You will have breakfast at the camp and depart for your full-day game drive in northern Serengeti along the Mara river to witness Wildebeest crossing the river.

The Serengeti landscape is of mesmerizing beauty. While a sizable part of the park consists of seasonally flooded plains, forests, and shrub savannahs, the Serengeti is primarily about one thing, grassy plains.
Being surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle is an experience of a lifetime. In their annual migration north, they stampede over vast open plains and plunge into crocodile-infested rivers, all while the predators endlessly hunt them.

After your picnic lunch on the Serengeti plains, you continue your game drive until the evening. You return to the camp as the sun sets over the horizon to wind down next to the crackling bushfire.

Northern to Central Serengeti Game Drive

After breakfast, enjoy a full day game drive in the park. The area around Lobo and the Grumeti River has good resident game throughout the year. Non-migrating animals like elephant, buffalo, gazelle, zebra, lion, leopard and cheetah can be seen here all year round. The game viewing is very good and you can follow game for long periods without seeing other vehicles – truly one of the forgotten corners of the Serengeti Plains. Magnificent riverine trees can be found along the river lines and bird species such as kingfishers and fish eagles can be found here.
