Northern Serengeti National Park

This entire day is dedicated to game drives in the Serengeti. Home to abundant wildlife such as impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, the Serengeti is especially famous for its vast migrating herds of zebras, antelopes, and wildebeest. The animals' migration, driven by rainfall, varies each year.

From November to December, the herds move from the northern woodlands and hills to the southern grassy plains. During the longer rainy season, from April to June, they return north. Besides the migrating herds, you may also spot resident predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions.
