Northern Serengeti

The region is vast and suited for the adventurous and those preferring a secluded safari. It is ideal for wildlife photographers following the migration that attracts not only the wildebeest and zebra but also predators. Perennial rivers and springs support large populations of resident wildlife and walking safaris are on offer for explorers to traverse the wilderness zones; or hot air ballooning that lifts from the banks of the Mara River and drift over the migrating herd. Apart from the herds of zebra and wildebeest that dominate the landscape between July and October, the species most likely to be seen in the Northern Serengeti are elephant, buffalo, impala, topi, hartebeest, giraffe, lion, cheetah and warthog.
