As you head toward North Serengeti, the scenery will shift from the flat plains to more hilly terrain. Along the way, keep an eye out for zebras, gazelles, lions, and leopards. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed en route, and based on your arrival time, you may have the chance to spend time near the Mara River, where the great migration crossings often take place (June to October). End the day with dinner and a restful night.
