Safari Overview

Explore northern Serengeti during the seasonal period associated with wildebeest and zebra movements toward the Mara River. This six-day private migration safari dedicates substantial time to northern Serengeti so your guide can respond to changing herd locations and wildlife reports. River crossings are among Africa’s most dramatic wildlife events, but their timing is entirely natural and unpredictable; this itinerary provides opportunity rather than a guarantee.
