Masai Mara, Kenya – Where the Migration Begins
Masai Mara, Kenya – Where the Migration Begins
Begin your safari with a pickup from your Nairobi hotel or the airport for a scenic drive into the Masai Mara. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, then head out on your first afternoon game drive to see the wildebeest herds and their predators against the golden light of evening.
Over the next two days, focus entirely on the migration. Your guide will lead you to the best spots to follow the herds, whether grazing on the plains or massing near the rivers for dramatic crossings. Expect to see lions, cheetahs, and hyenas shadowing the herds, while elephants, giraffes, and buffalo add to the richness of the Mara. Evenings at your lodge bring time to relax, dine, and relive the action of the day.

Northern Serengeti, Tanzania – The Great River Crossings
On day four, journey to the Isebania border and cross into Tanzania. Continue south into the Serengeti, enjoying a game drive along the way that introduces you to the park’s vast landscapes and first glimpses of its abundant wildlife. By evening, arrive at your lodge in the Northern Serengeti, perfectly placed near the Mara River, and settle in for dinner under the stars.
The following day is dedicated to the heart-stopping drama of the Great Migration. This region is where wildebeest and zebra gather in their tens of thousands, drawn to the river that stands between them and fresh grazing lands. Spend the day tracking the herds as they build momentum for the perilous crossings, where crocodiles lie in wait and predators stalk the edges. Few safari moments rival the thunder of hooves, the tension of the chase, and the sheer scale of life on the move. By evening, return to your lodge for storytelling and relaxation, surrounded by the sounds of the Serengeti.

Central Serengeti, Tanzania – Predators on the Plains
On day six, depart the Northern Serengeti with a game drive en route through sweeping plains alive with wildlife. Arrive at your Central Serengeti lodge in time for lunch, then set off on an afternoon game drive into the famous Seronera Valley. This area is a magnet for big cats, and it’s common to spot cheetahs sprinting across the grasslands or leopards lounging in the shade of acacia trees. The mix of open plains and rocky kopjes makes this a perfect hunting ground, ensuring action at every turn.
Day seven is yours to dive deeper into this iconic landscape. Choose between a morning and afternoon game drive with a restful break at your lodge, or an all-day safari with a picnic lunch that allows you to explore farther afield. The Central Serengeti is home to some of the largest lion prides in Africa, as well as elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and abundant plains game. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for another evening of fine dining and unforgettable sounds of the African night.
