Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will depart from your accommodation to Central Serengeti Park via the Ngorongoro highlands game drive on the way. Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch at a suitable picnic site inside the park. You will continue the game drive activity in the afternoon before reaching the camp for dinner and the night.

Serengeti National Park is famous for its great migration of millions of wildebeest, herds of zebra, and antelopes, which migrate together depending on the seasons, searching for fresh grasses, pastures, and water. Be ready to see most of the different wild animals within a short time, including resident predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Full Day Serengeti National Park

Another day to immerse yourself in the Serengeti. Your guide might take you to a different sector of the park today — perhaps the Seronera River Valley, known for its high concentration of predators and resident game, or further north or south, depending on the time of year and the movement of the herds.

This full day allows for a more relaxed pace. You can spend more time observing animal behavior, like a lion pride interacting or a cheetah on the hunt, rather than just "ticking off" species. It's a day for photography, contemplation, and truly absorbing the raw beauty of the African wilderness.
