Serengeti NP Central & transfer to Northern Serengeti National Park

You'll spend your days exploring the northern reaches of the Serengeti on safari, tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers. If you’re there at the right time for the great migration (depending on the season), this is the region where the herds are at their most concentrated as they seek to cross the Mara River to reach the open grasslands beyond, and it’s where (if you’re lucky) you’ll see iconic river crossings. It’s also an area of untamed natural beauty, of rolling hills, rivers, forests, and open plains.

Highlights:
Where the Great Migration puts on part of its great show
It’s big, like 1.5 million hectares big
Offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa
Home to the Big Five, as well as a mighty big lion population

Evening: You'll spend the nights in the so-called migration camp, strategically located close to the migration, ensuring you won’t miss a single moment of the action.
