You'll be picked up from your hotel after breakfast and then transferred to Arusha Airstrip for your flight to Serengeti North. Upon arrival, you'll meet your driver guide for a full-day game drive in this part of the park to view the great migration.
The park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the Big Five, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these elusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with a population of around 1,000.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park -Northern Mara
Serengeti National Park -Northern Mara
After breakfast at the camp, you will depart with your picnic lunch for a game drive and to view the great migration.
Serengeti National Park resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with a pride of lions up to 30 strong. However, from August to October, the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River. It is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note — finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.

Serengeti National Park -Northern Mara
After breakfast, you will enjoy a full day of game drives at the Mara River viewing the great migration river crossing. In the evening, you'll go back to the camp for the evening bonfire, dinner, and overnight stay.
River crossings at Kogatende start to occur every day in August as the mega herd settles into the area. From August to October, game viewing up here is superb with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses. It is not uncommon to see different herds crossing in different directions on the same day.
