Day 4
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Today is dedicated entirely to game drives in the Serengeti. This world-famous park is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including impala, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, and is best known for the Great Migration of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The movement of these herds depends on rainfall and can vary each year. In November and December, the animals typically travel from the woodland and hilly northern areas to the open grassy plains of the south. During the long rains from April to June, they usually make their way back north.
Beyond the migration, you may also encounter Serengeti’s resident predators—lions, cheetahs, and leopards—playing their vital role in nature’s balance.
After a thrilling day, you will return to your carefully selected partner tented camp to relax, enjoy dinner, and spend the night in the heart of the endless plains.

The lake rises and falls with the seasons and attracts thousands of flamingos, along with more than 500 other bird species.
