Drive along the lake’s shores, where thousands of flamingos and pelicans create a stunning pink hue. Look out for rhinos, buffaloes, Rothschild’s giraffes, and, if lucky, a leopard lounging in the trees. Lions and hyenas may also be seen hunting in the open plains.

If your visit falls during the migration season, you will follow the migration as your guide tries to identify all of the Big Five. You will watch as hundreds of wildebeest cross the crocodile-infested river in awe and anticipation.

The ensuing herds will step over hundreds, perhaps even thousands of bodies that have drowned in the water. Those who are fortunate enough to cross the river will discover the predators who are ready to make a meal of them. You will be dumbfounded after such a moving encounter.
