Trip Overview
Northern Tanzania and the Serengeti in particular, at this time of year, is buzzing with drama. Millions of wildebeest are heading north to the lush plains of southern Kenya along with many great predators in tow. All this before the wildebeest take on the rivers of the northern Serengeti.
This is a beautifully designed trip that takes you from arrival in Arusha to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater where views of the Crater are akin to nothing you have seen before. Then it’s into the action of the Northern Serengeti – you will be off the beaten track deep in the Serengeti wilderness with the unique opportunity to be on foot amongst the plethora of wildlife.

Accommodation: Sanctuary Camp
Sanctuary Camp is situated in the woodlands on the Crater rim with ten classic safari tents. This camp is very comfortable and provides guests with good access to the Crater floor.
Parks & Areas
Serengeti National Park (2 Nights)
2 Nights
Serengeti National Park
Make your way into the northern regions of the famous Serengeti National Park to the heart of the action. Flying is an option at this point but often a drive through the park is a great way to take in the vast plains and all the inhabitant wildlife.
The famous river crossings
Every dry season, thousands of brave herds attempt to reach the green lush grasslands of the Mara in their annual migration. This is a truly epic spectacle with hungry crocs patiently waiting to pick up a good feed – for sheer drama and scale, this event is very hard to beat.
Seeing a crossing takes luck and patience, but regardless of where you stay having an excellent and experienced guide who knows the area like the back of his hand is critical if you are to connect with a crossing.
Unlike the Israelites crossing of The Red Sea, the Mara River crossings are not a single event, rather crossings happen throughout the dry season. Groups varying in size from a few hundred to tens of thousand cross the river in both directions between July and October in response to localized weather patterns.
Experiences
Accommodation
Your base for the next couple of nights will be a seasonal camp that is set up to follow the migration – these camps are brilliant with everything you need and nothing you don’t plus their mobility makes them the optimum base for the dramatic river crossings.
