Day 1

Mwanza to Mara river

Mwanza to Mara river

This safari has been curated to offer you the best of East Africa’s wildlife, while also ensuring your comfort, safety, and a relaxed pace that allows you to fully enjoy each national park experience.

Your journey begins in Mwanza, a city located on the shores of Lake Victoria. After meeting your guide, you will embark on a scenic drive to the Serengeti National Park.

Within 2 hours you will be at the western Ndabaka Entrance of the Serengeti. You will start spotting wildlife as soon as you enter! This area is renowned for the Grumeti river, the easiest way to spot some of the biggest Nile Crocodiles in the Serengeti.

You will be provided with packed lunch boxes that you can enjoy in wild under a tree. You will then start heading towards the Northern Serengeti amidst the huge herds of wildebeest and Zebras.

As the sun sets over the Serengeti, you'll drive to your accommodation for a hearty dinner and a peaceful night's rest, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Wake up to the wild in the Northern Serengeti, already immersed in the heart of the Mara River region. Set off on an afternoon game drive to get your first look at the river and the vast herds gathering on its banks.

Keep your eyes peeled for predators lurking in the grass and crocodiles waiting patiently in the water. Spend the day tracking herd movements, observing predators on the prowl, and soaking in the raw beauty of the landscape. Enjoy a packed picnic lunch in the bush and continue your search into the afternoon.

Return to camp in the evening for dinner and a well-earned rest under the stars—with the sounds of the river still echoing nearby.

To increase your chances of viewing wildlife, start your day with an early morning game drive. Spend the day exploring the northern Serengeti's Mara river and continue to observe the Great Migration in anticipation of sighting a crossing.

In the evening, you will return to your accommodation for another night in the heart of the wildlife.
