Upon your arrival at Kogatende Airstrip, be warmly greeted by our professional driver guide. Embark on a thrilling full day of game drives in the Kogatende and Bologonja areas, with a focus on witnessing the Great Migration. According to recent updates, the Great Migration has reached the Kogatende region of the Northern Serengeti, preparing for the awe-inspiring crossing over the Masai River.
Witness the herds gathering along the riverbanks, extending all the way to Gardenia Valley, as they transition into the Nyamalumbwa Plains and the Sand River. The Great Wildebeest Migration, an annual spectacle of vast herds of grazers traversing Northern Tanzania and Kenya, is an extraordinary phenomenon. With over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journeying through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems, it is an unparalleled natural wonder to behold.

- Day 2 - Northern Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast we have 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 kilometer trek of the immense wildebeest herd is the largest mammal migration on earth.
The timing of the migration coincides with 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 least nutritious.
