at Its Best

September is a special time to visit Kogatende in the northern Serengeti. With the dry season in full swing, the area offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities of the year, especially as it’s home to the famous Mara River crossings.

The Drama of the Mara River Crossings 

September in Kogatende means one thing: the famous Mara River crossings. Thousands of wildebeest and zebras bravely charge through the crocodile-infested waters during their dangerous journey north, creating one of the most intense scenes of the migration. From the safety and comfort of Siringit Migration Camp, the Mara River is only a short drive away, so you don’t have to go far to take your chance at witnessing this incredible show of survival as predators like crocodiles and lions lurk, awaiting their moment.

Wildlife Viewing at Its Best 

The dry season draws wildlife to the few remaining water sources, making game viewing easier and more frequent. You’ll likely spot big cats such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, along with elephants, giraffes, and more. With clear skies and thinning vegetation, Kogatende offers excellent visibility for photography and wildlife viewing.

A More Peaceful Side of the Serengeti 

Beyond the river crossings, Kogatende is known for its tranquility. You can enjoy the peacefulness of the area, which will allow you to notice the smaller animals and diverse birdlife. This quieter side of the Serengeti provides for serene moments in nature.

Siringit Migration Camp 

Our Siringit Migration Camp moves with the migration and is currently stationed in Kogatende for the season. After a day of exploring, you’ll return to a comfortable, beautifully designed tent with stunning views of the savannah. Our chefs prepare delicious meals using fresh local ingredients, and evenings around the campfire are a relaxing way to unwind after a full day of adventure.
