Day 4

Central Serengeti National Park - Nothern Serengeti National Park

Central Serengeti National Park - Nothern Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we will continue with a game drive toward the northern Serengeti. The northern region of the park is a vast, pristine area of wooded rolling hills interspersed with open grassy patches and large granite outcrops. The Northern Serengeti offers a chance to escape the crowds. This region of the park—wedged between the Central Serengeti and Masai Mara National Reserve to the north—is remote and relatively inaccessible, which means it sees fewer visitors. Travelers who make it to this corner of the Serengeti will be rewarded with gorgeous landscapes of green rolling hills, granite outcrops, acacia woodlands dotting open savanna, incredible wildlife, and most importantly, massive herds of wildebeest and zebra making the dangerous crossing of the crocodile-infested Mara River during the Great Migration from July to October.

We will stop for lunch and then proceed with game driving until evening before heading to the hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Main Destination:
Northern Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

If you would like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend going on a balloon safari (cost not included). It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife. After breakfast, you will be driven around the Mara River with a high chance of seeing the Great Migration multiple times. Apart from migratory animals, you may also see lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many more.

You will stop for lunch around the river, waiting to witness the migration crossing. Afterward, you can decide when to return to the hotel, and your guide will accommodate your preferences.
