Designed around the Great Migration’s river-crossing season (June–October), this itinerary maximizes time in Northern Serengeti near the Mara River. Fly straight to the action, then spend unhurried days moving between crossing points with an expert guide. Expect patient stakeouts, big cats shadowing the herds, and dramatic moments as wildebeest and zebra brave the currents. Overland versions are available if you prefer to drive through Central Serengeti.
