Witness the nerve wrecking Migration River Crossing on this 4-Days Serengeti Migration Safari River Crossing.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most breathtaking wildlife sights nature has to offer, about 2.5 million wildebeests, zebras and antelopes follow the rains between the lush grasslands of Masai Mara and the predator studied plains of The Serengeti.
The spectacular river crossings usually take place between mid-July and late October, the wildebeests are forced to cross the Mara River between Kenya and Tanzania. This is a continuous cycle that happens every year. The animals constantly move across huge distances in search of fresh and green pastures.

Detailed itinerary of 4-Days Serengeti Migration Safari River Crossing

On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by a Rowin Africa Safari Guide and embark on a journey to Serengeti National Park – North Kogatende “North Serengeti” to view the great migration.
Serengeti National Park is a well-known Tanzania Safari Destination for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the “big five” named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lion in Africa due to the abundance of prey species, more than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. Other animals commonly seen in this region include African leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs, zebras, giraffes among others. The park is also home to around 1,000 African elephants.

The Great Migration is one of the most sought-after experiences for wildlife and nature enthusiasts, it is an ever-moving circular migration of over a million animals across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in search for water and green pastures.
Day 3: Serengeti National Park-Kogatende.
Have early morning hot air balloon safari, then after breakfast head out for a full day migration viewing Mara River crossing, back to the camp for dinner and overnight.
River crossings at Kogatende start to occur every day in August as the mega herd settles into the area. For August, September and October, game viewing is superb here, with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rain and subsequent fresh grass. It is not uncommon to see different herds crossing in different directions on the same day.
The Great Migration is the largest herd movement of animals on the planet, with up to 1,000 animals per square kilometer, the great columns of wildebeests can be seen from space.
