Serengeti River Crossing: A Wild Spectacle
Emily R. · Canada · 30 Jun 2026

The 7 Days Serengeti River Crossing Safari was an unforgettable experience. Witnessing the wildebeest migration bravely crossing the Mara River was awe-inspiring and a little heart-stopping! We had excellent game drives, spotting lions, elephants, and numerous bird species. Our guide was fantastic at finding the best viewing spots. While the river crossing is the main event, the Serengeti itself is teeming with life. The lodges were comfortable, though a couple were a bit more basic than expected for the price. Still, the wildlife made it all worthwhile. We're considering another safari in 2026.

The 6-day Rongai Route was a fantastic choice. It's known for being drier and offering different views, which was true. Our guide was superb, very experienced, and kept us motivated. The porters were incredibly strong and always had a smile. The ascent was challenging, especially near the summit, but the support system made it manageable. Reaching Uhuru Peak was an emotional moment I'll never forget. A challenging but highly rewarding climb. Planning a return for 2026!
