As you travel through its rolling hills, you’ll often see Maasai herding their livestock—an authentic glimpse into local life. Your journey continues toward the Naabi Hill Gate, perched on a rise and offering a breathtaking, archetypal view of the Serengeti: a vast, open expanse stretching as far as the eye can see. Even before reaching your camp, you’ll enjoy your first wildlife sightings in the world’s most renowned national park—an enduring symbol of Africa, immortalized in Grzimek’s documentary Serengeti Shall Not Die.

Meal Plan
Wildebeest migration viewing in the Northern Serengeti National Park along the Mara River.
You'll enjoy a full day game drive in the northern part of the National Park. Your guide will take you to the areas where the action is at its peak. For example, a day game drive could take you to a viewpoint along the Mara or Sand Rivers. With a bit of luck, you might witness one of the dramatic river crossings by massive herds of wildebeest and zebras. Each year, these animals face the life-threatening challenge of crossing the rivers in search of better grazing. Steep banks lead to the riverbanks, where they swim across, with crocodiles waiting in the water. On the opposite side, they must climb steep slopes, where lions, hyenas, and leopards may be waiting.
