famous park because of a big number of Big Cats of Africa including the Annual
Migration of Wildebeest & Zebra’s that migrate from Tanzania to Kenya crossing
the Mara River in the North Park of Serengeti.
A million wildebeest… each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its
instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of
territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 miles) long
columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north;
replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than
8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.

Accommodation: Heritage Migration Tented Camp
Day 05: Full Day Game Drive Along Mara River
After breakfast, we will proceed for a full day game drive viewing the great migration at Mara area. The key feature is the Mara River and there is a great chance to see the herds cross the Mara River to the north on one day and back south a few days later. Please note that it can be very difficult to witness crossing and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to river and only decide to cross a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Heritage Migration Tented Camp

Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers an amazing game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.
Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Heritage Tented Camp Central
Day 07: Serengeti Central (Central Seronera)
This is another full day game drive at Serengeti National Park, known for its healthy population of resident wildlife, particularly the “big five”, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters:
Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem.
African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population of around 1,000.
African Elephant: the herds are recovering from population lows in the 1980s caused by poaching and are largely located in the northern regions of the park.
African Buffalo: considered by many to be the most dangerous of the big five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.
Rhinoceros: this may refer to either black or white rhinoceros. Among big five game hunters, the black rhinoceros is preferred, although it is now critically endangered.
