The name “Serengeti” was derived from the word “Siringit” in Maasai language meaning endless plains, the Serengeti is also renowned for its large Lion population and is one of the best places to observe prides in their natural habitats, approximately 70 large mammal and 850 birds’ species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats; include riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grassland and woodland.

After breakfast your driver guide will pick you and start drive to experience the Northern Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is the most famous migration and is counted as one of the seven wonders of animals on earth. This wildebeest migration takes place on the extreme North of Serengeti National Park around the Lamai Triangle and it’s the largest and mass wildebeest migration. The migration happens from July to September as the wildebeest cross the Mara River to the Maasai Mara National Reserve of Kenya passing through the Serengeti Maasai Mara ecosystem. The Northern Serengeti wildebeest migration is more dramatic seeing wildebeest and other grazers throw themselves in water amidst the lager Nile Crocodiles in the water. This wildebeest migration is interesting that human cannot tell exact date of the migration but fellow animals especially the predators can camp there in time just waiting for the great opportunity to start hunting. At the time of migration every wildebeest has a dream to cross and survive yet the Crocodiles also count on the animals for their dinner and lunches hence making everything strange as they have to go for the survival for the fittest. Also the high cliffs of the rift valley escarpments makes the river deep and not easy to have a U-turn, once they have entered the river there no looking back. Other animals to see during the northern wildebeest migration are the elusive Leopard, Hippos, Hyrax, Mongoose, Birds and Reptiles. In October the wildebeest start to return back to the Serengeti area hence making the Mara Serengeti ecosystem busy, one can experience the wildebeest migration by visiting Serengeti in July and then return to back to Maasai Mara in October. After game drive you will return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.
