Day 2
Tarangire to serengeti national park
Tarangire to serengeti national park
After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel. On the way to Serengeti, you will pass by the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy the crater view before heading to your destination. The name Serengeti originates from the Maasai word Siringitu which means endless plains. You will see why the Maasai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the South and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes. These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats. You will have an excellent chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. In the afternoon, you will have a standard home meal and then, later on, arrive at your destination for the day.
