The wildebeest migration, depending on season, sweeps through the southern or central Serengeti in massive columns stretching to the horizon. Return to camp for a midday break and hot lunch, then head back out for the afternoon and sunset drive across the golden plains. Your guide will share tracking expertise and natural history knowledge throughout the day.

The Tarangire River draws huge concentrations of wildlife, particularly in the dry season.
