Day 2: Full Day Tracking the Great Migration

This day is dedicated to following the Great Wildebeest Migration. Your guide adjusts the route depending on the movement of the herds.

You may explore the southern plains, western corridor, or northern Serengeti based on current wildlife activity. Expect dramatic wildlife interactions as predators stay close to the migration.
