Annually, from May to December, millions of animals embark on a migration that brings them from Central Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara and back again in an incredible spectacle. Even during the ‘down-time’, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle roam here, along with groups of elephant, giraffe, and buffalo. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and jackals stalk their meals. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in this open arena. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Seronera Campsite.
