Day 3 : Full Daye at Northern Serengeti National Park ( Kogatende Area)
Morning: You will set out to make the most of the day after eating breakfast early. There is a potential you may observe the animals crossing the Mara River. On the banks of the river, hundreds of thousands of anxious wildebeest congregate and look longingly across the choppy water at the verdant grass on the other side, but no animal will move. All it takes is one courageous wildebeest to literally jump, and everyone other will follow! The animals who do successfully dodge the hungry crocodile jaws and make it over the river are rewarded with the lush green grazing grass of the Masai Mara.
After the lengthier wet season from April to June, they return to the northern Serengeti, and Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya. In addition to the migrating herds, we might be able to witness the local predators—the lion, cheetah, and leopard—fulfilling their roles in the wheel of life.

"Amazing trip"
Recommend this to everyone, Mr. Herman was our guide, and super knowledgeable and professional. He knew where to find every animal we wanted to see and was super punctual. We saw every animal that you associate with Safari, and super close! We stayed at wonderful accommodations with the Camp at Serengeti being the highlight, along with a nice stay with the Maasai at the end of our trip.

"Very happy on a journey!"
This trip is so much fun! Our guides, Jordan and Osman, are very attentive, and the guide to my car is Jordan, who has a very sharp eye for spotting particularly distant animals and always takes us very quickly to the best viewing booth for animals. And I think their service was good. Oh, never let us carry a suitcase once from start to finish, always laughing! And he’ll tell us a lot about their local fun and great driving skills!
Leo – China
"Unforgettable Experience"
We had an unforgettable experience booking our Tanzania safari with Meijo Safaris. From start to finish, the service was seamless, and the team went above and beyond to make the trip truly special. A particular highlight was our incredible guides, Herman and Prays. They were always attentive to our needs, made sure we were comfortable, and consistently impressed us with their professionalism.
On the game drives, their eagle eyes spotted.
