Serengeti NP exploring the great migration & overnight

Over the next two days, we’ll venture into the western corridor of Serengeti National Park, renowned for its world-famous large crocodiles. Embark on an exhilarating pursuit of the Great Migration, one of the world’s most spectacular natural events. It is the undisputed highlight of any safari, and a dream come true for wildlife enthusiasts.

Enjoy a picnic while observing the migration. Witness the ground tremble as thousands of hooves pound the earth, with wildebeest and zebras attempting to cross the crocodile-infested Grumeti River in search of grazing and water.

Serengeti NP Searching for the Big Cats & overnight

This entire day is dedicated to game drives in the Serengeti. Home to abundant wildlife such as impalas, buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, and hippos, the Serengeti is especially famous for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. Animal movements are influenced by rainfall and vary from year to year. From April to June, the herds move from the southern grasslands to the western areas dominated by hills and woodlands.

During the longer rainy season from April to June, the herds return to the west. In addition to the migrating herds, there is an opportunity to observe resident predators such as hyenas, crocodiles, cheetahs, and lions, all fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

Enjoy a picnic in the wilderness. After an unforgettable day, return to your carefully selected lodge for relaxation, dinner, and your overnight stay on the endless plains.
