Northern serengeti national pack

Northern serengeti national pack

The Northern Serengeti is a remote, pristine region of Serengeti National Park, stretching to the Kenyan border and Maasai Mara. It’s best known for the dramatic Mara River crossings during the Great Migration (July–October), where thousands of wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters. Unlike the busier southern and central areas, the north offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience with fewer vehicles. The landscape is a stunning mix of rolling hills, woodlands, and riverine forests. Wildlife is abundant year-round—expect lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, and more. It’s ideal for those seeking both breathtaking action and peaceful wilderness.
