3-Day Great Migration River Crossing Safari

From $1,460 PP

Front-row seats to the Great Migration

A short, high-impact fly-in safari built around the Mara River crossings in the remote northern Serengeti. Between July and early September, thousands of wildebeest and zebra brave the river and its crocodiles — and your camp sits within easy reach of the action. Two nights in the Kogatende region, in your choice of a mid-range or luxury tented camp. Domestic bush flights are arranged separately.

DAY 01

 

Fly into the northern Serengeti

A bush flight brings you to the Kogatende airstrip in the northern Serengeti, where your guide is waiting. After settling into camp and lunch, you head straight out on an afternoon game drive — the action here starts immediately, from resident big cats to the gathering herds.

DAY 02

 

The Mara River crossings

A full day along the Mara River, the natural border between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, waiting for the moment the herds plunge in. Crossings follow no schedule, so your guide positions you to move quickly when it begins — one of the most dramatic spectacles in the natural world.

Bush flight out

A relaxed breakfast and time to take in the surroundings before a short transfer to the airstrip for your onward flight — or an optional later flight to extend your final morning.
