DAY 05: Northern Serengeti (Kogatende)

On the fifth day ,After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Warari area. This area of the park is extremely rich in wildlife mostly involved in the Great Serengeti Migration, with lion colonies of up to 30, and from mid-July to October, the area transforms into a wildlife paradise. The main feature is the Mara River, and it is not uncommon for herds to cross the Mara River north in one day and then back south again after a few days. Remember finding the crosswalk of the wildbeest during the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is very difficult and sometimes a matter of luck. A flock is seen along the river and it will be a few days before a decision is made whether to cross or not.

The area is a stunning area of kopies, forests, riverine vegetation and open plains similar to Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. (You can also make a hot air balloon in this area.) Serengeti Balloon Safari: No words can do justice to the experience of flying over the Serengeti. The balloon flight lasts approximately 1 hour. Afterwards, passengers gather around a table surrounded by the park's lush plains to enjoy an English 'out of Africa' breakfast.
