On these two incredible days, you will be exploring different regions of the vast plains of the Serengeti. Depending on the time of year you visit will dictate which regions of the Serengeti are to be explored. Earlier months of the year will bring you to the more southern plains to witness the herds of the migration & possibly even get to witness part of the calving season. Into the later summer months, this could bring you to the more remote northern regions of the Serengeti to possibly witness a Mara River crossing!
