Today you head north to track the Great Migration, a drive of 150 kilometers taking about 5 hours. This 6-day eco-friendly safari in Serengeti Migration aims to observe the herds without disturbing their natural movement. The Northern Serengeti is where the dramatic river crossings occur as wildebeest brave the Mara River. A positive moment for conservation enthusiasts is seeing a rare pack of African wild dogs, a species that is making a slow recovery in the park. You will stay at a seasonal mobile camp designed to leave no trace once the season ends.

The morning is spent observing the interaction between the migration herds and predators. In the afternoon, you begin the 150 kilometer drive back to the Central Serengeti, which takes about 5 hours. This return journey allows you to see the changing vegetation from hilly woodlands to flat savannah. You might witness an unexpected moment like a dung beetle rolling a large ball across the track, a small but essential part of soil health.
