Day 2

North Serengeti  |  into the heart of africa

From Arusha, you will fly directly into Northern Serengeti, landing at the Kogatende Airstrip.  From the plane, you may be able to catch your first sight of the migration below.  Your safari guide will pick you up from the airstrip and get you settled in your private safari vehicle.  From there, you will go on a full-day game drive focusing on the wildlife congregating on the banks of the Mara River.  In the evening, you will settle into your own luxury tent in one of the premier migration camps in the region.

Day 3

north serengeti  |  from the Mara River to Kenya

Today, you will continue to focus on the flora and fauna in the northern plains.  Your guide will monitor the wildebeest herds on the banks of the Mara River to bring you to the site of crossings.  You may also follow the herds all the way to the Tanzania-Kenya border, meeting herds of graze animals, tracking big cats, and spotting warthogs along the way.  Don’t miss the iconic acacia trees slanting into the horizon! 

Day 4

North to Central Serengeti |  Classic Lion King Landscapes

In the morning, we will continue to explore the banks of the Mara, and perhaps catch another river crossing.  When we are ready, we will start the drive towards Central Serengeti.  Central Serengeti, also called Seronera Region, has the highest concentration of predatory big cats in Serengeti National Park due to the year-round supply of grazing herds in this region.  Along the way, look for lions on the kopjes, the rock outcroppings that dot the plains.
