Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast in the remote wilderness of Northern Serengeti, you'll begin your journey southwards toward the heart of the park — Central Serengeti (Seronera area). This day is a perfect blend of scenic transfer and rewarding game drives, offering an authentic Serengeti safari experience.
As you drive through the vast open plains, the landscape gradually changes from rolling savannah and scattered acacia trees to wildlife-rich grasslands and river systems.
The Serengeti is renowned for its predators, and today offers excellent chances to spot lions resting under acacia trees, cheetahs scanning the plains, and leopards lounging in the branches of sausage trees. As night falls, the sounds of roaring lions and calling hyenas remind you that you are deep in the African wilderness. Your overnight stay will be at Kontiki Serengeti Camp.

Central Serengeti to Country Lodge - Karatu

After an early breakfast in the heart of the Central Serengeti, you'll begin your final game drive across this wildlife-rich region, making the most of the cool morning hours when animals are most active. As the sun rises over the endless plains, you may encounter large prides of lions returning from a night hunt, cheetahs scanning the savannah for prey, and herds of elephants moving gracefully through the grasslands. The Central Serengeti, also known as the Seronera area, is famous for its year-round concentration of wildlife, supported by the Seronera River and its surrounding valleys.

After a rewarding morning of game viewing, you gradually depart the Serengeti, driving southeast toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The landscape slowly changes from vast open plains to rolling highlands dotted with kopjes, acacia woodland, and traditional Maasai bomas. Your overnight stay will be at Country Lodge Karatu.
