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.
Expect rewarding encounters with elephants and an abundance of big cats, including lions and leopards. Thanks to its remote location, safari routes in the northern Serengeti are generally quieter, offering a more exclusive and unhurried wildlife experience amid truly spectacular landscapes.

Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti (Game Drive & Transit)
Begin the day with a relaxed morning game drive in Northern Serengeti, where the migration often pauses and spreads across open plains to graze on nutrient-rich grasses sustained by higher rainfall. This region offers a quieter, more exclusive safari experience, with fewer vehicles and excellent opportunities to observe resident predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas that thrive year-round.
Northern Serengeti is also known for its strong leopard population along riverine trees and rocky outcrops, as well as ancient Nile crocodiles that dominate the waterways. After lunch, continue with a scenic en-route game drive toward Central Serengeti, passing through diverse landscapes rich in wildlife. Arrive in the central plains in the late afternoon for dinner and overnight at your lodge.

Begin the day with a morning game drive in Central Serengeti, the ecological heart of the park, where permanent water sources support wildlife year-round. This area is known for its high density of big cats, especially lions that have established long-term territories, offering exceptional predator sightings in the varied habitats of kopjes, plains, and river lines. Wildlife behaviour changes as landscapes transition, from open savannah to woodland corridors, often revealing the Big Five.
After lunch, depart Serengeti and ascend toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, a scenic journey that few itineraries fully highlight. The drive passes through cooler climates, Maasai homelands, volcanic highlands, and fertile farmlands, offering a cultural and geographical contrast to the plains below.
