Mara River Crossing Safari

Imran

Created this safari Idea.

Wildebeest Crossing safari highlights;

Exciting river crossing at the Mara River is perhaps the highlight of the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration, a striking life-and-death display as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest brave the traitorous currents and prowling crocodiles in a last-ditch attempt to reach the safety of the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

Our 06-day wildebeest crossing safari takes you into the northern Serengeti and offers the best chance of seeing death-defying leaps and heart-wrenching near misses as you spend multiple nights and days in the world-famous Serengeti National Park.

Serengeti Kogatende

After breakfast, we will drive across the plains of Togoro and through the Mbuzi Mawe kopjes (small hills) as we make our way into the park’s northern reaches.

Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to see the Serengeti’s diverse scenery as you pass through wooded hills, tumbledown kopjes, and the wide open savannah. Your drive will show you everything from the diminutive dik-dik to towering elephants and giraffes.
Spending two nights at Kogatende region, you’ll go out in search of both the Wildebeest Migration and the famous Big Five.

Along Mara river is where the game drive bases, home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the Wildebeest Migration and the relative safety of the Masai Mara. If you’re patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself where wildebeest and zebras brave the river’s currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety on the opposite bank.
