After breakfast, the savannah landscape welcomes you to start exploring the wildlife viewing the great migration.
River crossings usually begin in August (and may begin earlier) as the mega herd settles in the area. Between August and October, game viewing is at its best with river crossings virtually guaranteed every day. There are no distinct movements as the herds tend to cross the river from one side to the other, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses. Fierce,deep and heavily rain fed the river takes an enormous toll on the migrating wildebeest. Watching the wildebeest surging through the torrential flow, some drowning and a few falling prey to lurking crocodiles is an unforgettable sight.
To trace the great migration we might even move towards the Lobo valley. The pristine lobo valley is scattered with woodlands, plains, hills and famous granite Kopjes.It offers an enormous amount of bigcat game with lions, leopards and cheetah in plenty. During the dry season the permanent water sources in the valley attract plenty of resident and migratory animals, resulting in excellent game viewing. During the full day game drive, you will have a stop where you can enjoy our lunch.
At the end of the days we will proceed to your lodge for dinner and rest.
