Day 4 &5: North and South of Serengeti Game drives
As usual, you will finish a good breakfast and begin your day by 8AM. In the
months between mid-June to September the migration can be found in this
region. From mid-June to September, the Mara River in this region offers the most
dramatic river crossing of the great migration. Fierce, deep and heavily rain fed
the river takes an enormous toll on the migrating wildebeest. Watching the
wildebeest surging through the torrential flow, some drowning and a few falling
prey to lurking crocodiles is an unforgettable sight. If it’s your lucky day you will
be able to witness this natural wonder and watch nature take its course. Tracing
the great migration you might even move towards the Lobo valley. The pristine
lobo valley is scattered with woodlands, plains, hills and famous granite Kopjes. It
offers enormous amount of big cat game with lions, leopards and cheetah in
plenty. During the dry season the permanent water sources in the valley attract
plenty of resident and migratory animals, resulting in excellent game viewing.
