Arrive at Kogatende Airstrip, where our professional driver-guide will warmly welcome you to the heart of the Northern Serengeti. Spend the day exploring the Kogatende and Bologonja areas on thrilling game drives, with a special focus on the Great Migration.
According to recent updates, the migration has reached the Kogatende region and the herds are preparing for the dramatic crossing of the Mara River. Vast numbers of wildebeest are gathering along the riverbanks, stretching from Gardenia Valley to the Nyamalumbwa Plains and the Sand River—an extraordinary sight that captures the raw beauty and power of nature.
The Great Wildebeest Migration—the annual movement of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems—is one of the most breathtaking wildlife spectacles on Earth, a timeless cycle of life, survival, and renewal.

During this time, you’ll have an excellent chance to witness the dramatic river crossings, where wildebeest face the river’s challenges and predators in action.
