Today you will head to THE SERENGETI (Africa’s leading national park for three consecutive years 2019-2021), Serengeti means “endless plains” in Ki-Maasai. Pass the Olduvai Gorge located between Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi, the gorge is an archeological site of immense importance, before finally descending 300ft into the volcanic Serengeti plains, your home for the next four days. Enjoy your first game drive and photography while driving towards Katikati with sumptuous packed lunches prepared in a special home kitchen just for you.

At the end of the calving season, wildebeest and the entourage start to congregate on the Southern plains in preparation for the 800km Northward journey. During this period, the herds of more than a million migrating animals marching in a braying column of up to 40km long, through Central Serengeti is one of the most impressive spectacle in the world.

Follow and photograph the daily movements of the herds in their search for fresh grazing, the predators abound and search for those secretive species, like leopards, as well as the more visible species, like lions in these four days. Expect to see frequent kills and also experience the assemblage of peripheral animals such as vultures, jackals and hyenas who wait patiently to claim their share of this abundance, and so much more at your discretion and for your lens to capture.

Spend the rest of the days exploring and photographing the Serengeti at your own pace and time. You may take breakfast hampers prepared for you at the lodge and drive back to the lodge for a hot sumptuous meal. Spend the afternoon at your leisure and depart for an evening game drive and sun downer, or you may opt to spend a full day photographing the Crossing.

Experience “The Crossing” at the Grumeti River through the western corridor occurs from June up to early July. The Dramatic scene ensue as hundreds of wildebeest and zebras plunge in to the river, in a desperate attempt to reach the other side before the rivers’ ravenous and prolific population of outsized crocodiles feed on them. The drama continues as the land predators are anxiously waiting for the weak and tired ungulates for an easy meal.  This entire drama is an extraordinary platform for photographers to capture amazing stills and motions. The first herds to cross are generally at a greater risk. It can take up to two weeks from when the first herd arrives the southern bank of the river for the actual crossing to begin, by when thousands of herds are congregated in the western corridor.
