Arrive at Kogatende Airstrip, where our professional driver guide will warmly welcome you. Experience a full day of game drives in the Kogatende and Bologonja areas, focusing on the Great Migration According to a recent update, the Great Migration has arrived in the Kogatende area of the Northern Serengeti and is getting ready for the epic crossing over the Masai River. The herds are gathering along the river to the Gardenia Valley moving into the Nyamalumbwa Plains and the Sand River The Great Wildebeest Migration – the annual migration of giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly spectacular event. Over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in search of green pasture.

After an early breakfast we have a game drive The Northern Serengeti offers a chance to escape the crowds: this region of the park – wedged between the Central Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve to the north – is remote and relatively inaccessible, which means it sees fewer visitors. Travelers who make it to this corner of the Serengeti will be rewarded with gorgeous landscapes, The 800-kilometre trek of the immense wildebeest herd is the largest mammal migration on earth. The timing of the migration coincides with the greening of nutritious grasses on the short-grass plains during the wet season. These areas are safer because predators can be easily spotted making it an ideal place for calving. However, the plains dry, and the wildebeest are forced to move in search of greener pastures in the western corridor. The northern extension of the ecosystem has the highest rainfall, but the grasses are the least nutritious.

After breakfast have a Full day game drive searching migration crossing Mara River in Northern Serengeti National Park if you’re planning a safari from Northern Serengeti you’re in for a treat The Serengeti National Park is home to a variety of wildlife species including the big 5 such as elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalos and leopards which are considered the most difficult wildlife species to hunt on foot.

Although variations occur from year to year, the Serengeti migration follows a reasonably predictable annual cycle, dictated by local rainfall patterns. The Great Migration cycle breaks up into the following periods.

Early morning game drive towards the Central Serengeti for game drive. The great migration is supposed to be in this area from late July to mid-October crossing the famous Mara River to Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya and back to Serengeti. You will have a high opportunity to see them crossing while in the river attack them. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations to watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest as well as hippo’s pools, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top we can look out across the vast grasslands. After the game drive, you will be transferred to Farm of Dream Lodge in Karatu for 3 to 4 Hours.

The crater is also home to the world’s densest lion population and the highest density of lions in the world Additionally, the crater hosts the rare black rhino. It is important to note that giraffes are not found inside the crater, as the steep walls of the crater form a natural barrier for them. After the game drive you will be transferred to Arusha Airport for the flight to Zanzibar.
