Next will be an expedition into the heart of wild Africa, to the centre region of the park, known as the Seronera area featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable source of water to this area and therefore attracts most of the Serengeti wildlife. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are (predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals). We enjoy an adventurous game drive en- route to the northern Serengeti looking for the famous wildebeest crossing at Mara river. The yearly trek is determined by the rainfalls and the location of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. Apart from wildebeests and zebras you might also spot predators such as lions, leopards and cheetahs.


Overnight: Serengeti River Camp Lodge, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

After your early breakfast 6:00 am - 8:00 am be ready for a full day of game drive. From July to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note – actually finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of mother nature. A herd can be seen next to river and only decide to cross or not cross until a couple of days later.
