Day 4: Central Serengeti to North Serengeti
Starting after breakfast, you will explore the central portion of the Serengeti and move towards the northern part of the park.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day 5 & 6: North Serengeti National Park
From mid-June to September, the migration can be found in this region. The Mara River offers the most dramatic river crossing of the great migration. Fierce, deep and heavily rain fed, the river takes an enormous toll on the migrating wildebeest. Watching the wildebeest surging through the torrential flow, some drowning and a few falling prey to lurking crocodiles is an unforgettable sight.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day 7: North Serengeti – Central Serengeti
Starting at 8AM after breakfast, today you will head south towards the central Serengeti. The drive takes you through hill country, the Lobo area, woodlands and then back into the Seronera terrain. In Seronera one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
