THE GREAT MIGRATION OF THE SERENGETI

“To witness that calm rhythm of life revives our worn souls and recaptures a feeling of belonging to the natural world. No one can return from the Serengeti unchanged, for tawny lions will forever prowl our memory and great herds throng our imagination.” – George Schaller (American conservationist and author)

3 Night safari : Experience the endless plains of the Serengeti with a luxury stay at Sanctuary Kusini, the only permanent tented camp in the southern Serengeti.

DAY 1

mig1 Fly from Arusha to the Serengeti where you will be met by a Kusini representative and transferred to the camp. Driving time to Sanctuary Kusini is 15 minutes from the airstrip through the Serengeti with game viewing en route. Arrive at camp with time to freshen up before lunch is served. This afternoon discover why the Serengeti is an icon of Africa on an afternoon game drive.

The open plains spread out as far as the eye can see so it’s no surprise that the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning, “endless plains”. The park itself covers 14,763 sq. kilometres, making it one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries and host to one of the world’s largest land migrations.

Every year 1.5 million wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara followed by hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelle and other plains game in search of fresh grazing pastures.

On a morning game drive learn how to identify cheetah and record their behaviour before combining this data with photos and a record of their location. Return to your camp this evening to freshen up

before dinner. Following dinner this evening retire to the kopie where you may take this rare opportunity to enjoy a star safari as the camp manager unravels the myths of the night sky.
