The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle – the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search of fresh pastures.

Depending on the time of your visit, your driver guide will be able to share with you where the herd’s current location is at Serengeti.

Day 3

Central Serengeti National Park to Karatu

Central Serengeti National Park to Karatu

After breakfast, you will do a game drive at Central Serengeti National Park.

The Central Serengeti offers superb game viewing all year round due to its abundance of resident animals. Specifically, the Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti is a ‘must see’ on every safari regardless of the specific month of travel. Game viewing in Central Serengeti is at its best during the dry season as resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to the lack of water on the plains. Resident herbivores include impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, hartebeest, and giraffe. Resident carnivores include lions and leopards.

After the game drive, you will transfer by road to your hotel for an overnight stay at the accommodation outside the park in Karatu.
