After enjoying breakfast at your lodge, begin your transfer game drive to the northern part of Serengeti National Park to witness the great wildebeest migration. The journey itself serves as a game drive, offering opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. Your experienced guide will point out interesting sights and provide insights into the local ecosystem and animal behaviour.

You have so much to look forward to during your visit to the Northern Serengeti, one of the most scenic and wildlife-rich regions of the park. This remote area is defined by rolling hills, open grasslands, light woodlands, and the iconic Mara River, creating the perfect setting for exceptional game viewing.
