Why the Dry Season is Exceptional with Moonlight Tours Expedition

1. The Drama of the Mara River Crossing

The dry season marks the epic Mara River crossing, a once-in-a-lifetime event where thousands of wildebeest and zebras risk crocodile-filled waters to reach the northern grazing lands.

• Watch in awe as herds defy danger, showcasing the instinctual courage of migration.
• Our expertly positioned guides ensure you’re at the best vantage points to capture every leap, splash, and triumph.

2. Wildlife at its Most Concentrated

• Iconic species such as elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, and buffalo gather in abundance, making wildlife viewing exceptionally rewarding.
• The Serengeti’s golden plains, free from dense vegetation, offer unmatched visibility, perfect for photography and observation.

3. Predator-Prey Showdowns

The thinning bush unveils nature’s rawest moments as predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards exploit the abundance of prey.

• Witness heart-stopping hunts and intimate interactions, all narrated by our experienced guides who bring every moment to life.
