The most spectacular feature is the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from the plains of Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach Mara’s grasslands from late June. They are tracked by predators and circled by vultures as the journey unfolds. Get back for dinner and your overnight stay on a full board basis excluding drinks.
