Day 1

Serengeti National park

Serengeti National park

Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for the great migration—a natural cycle during which millions of wildebeest, zebras, and Thompson's gazelles cross the river from Serengeti to Masai Mara in Kenya. This incredible event can be witnessed from a 4x4 Land Cruiser parked along the river, offering a close-up view while facing the formidable Nile crocodiles. During this migration, predators move northward for their last feast.

A packed lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site inside the park, and dinner will be served at the lodge.
