Masai Mara- Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will head towards the far northern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, also known as the Wagakuria. You will do a game drive en route from the Lobo area to the Wagakuria area. As you head north, good sightings of giraffes, plain game, herds of buffaloes, and elephants can often be seen. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeests accompanied by large numbers of zebras and antelopes move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year. From the end of July to September, the migration can be found in the Northern Serengeti where they cross the Mara River following the greener pastures of Masai Mara where they provide the Mara River resident Nile crocodiles with the annual feast.

The Mara River crossing is one of the must-see in Serengeti and totally one of the most spectacular events in Serengeti. Many wildebeests perish trying to reach the mineral-rich grass of Masai Mara where they will spend at least 2 months before they start to migrate again to their ancestral birthing Ground Southern Ndutu where it will all start again. After a full day game drive and hopefully a sight of the crossing, you will be back to your accommodation in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself. When you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
