Northern Serengeti National Park (tracing the direction of the wildebeests)
After breakfast, we'll start our game drive with a packed lunch around the Kogatende area. We'll search around the kopjes looking for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be preparing to cross the Mara River into Kenya.
Home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the wildebeest migration and the relative safety of the Masai Mara. If you're patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself where wildebeests and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety on the opposite bank.
