Day by day
Arusha → Central Serengeti
Fly or drive to the central Serengeti. Afternoon game drive across the Seronera Valley.
Central Serengeti → Northern Serengeti
Transfer north towards the Mara River region, tracking the latest reports on herd movement along the way.
Mara River Territory
First full day positioned near the river, watching the herds build along the banks as they weigh the crossing.
River Crossing Vigil
A full day dedicated to the crossing, with your guide reading the herd's behaviour and positioning for the moment thousands of wildebeest and zebra plunge into the river together.
Further Crossing Opportunities
A second full day in the same territory, since crossings can happen at any time and are never guaranteed on a single attempt.
Northern Serengeti Predators
Game drive focused on the predators that follow the herds — lion prides and solitary leopards taking advantage of the migration's abundance.
Departure
Final morning game drive before the flight back to Arusha.
