Karatu to Serengeti National Park

After having breakfast, you’ll relish morning and afternoon game drives in the Serengeti National Park. Since Serengeti is incredibly large, your game drives can rely upon the movement of the migrants. Your guide is aware of various ways to find the herds. Serengeti National Park is known for the ‘great migration’ of over a million gnu (wildebeest) and two hundred thousand zebra annually. In October, they travel from the mountains of the north, southward to the plains, seeking lush pastures. During the months of May and June, the herds start their return journey. Even if it is not migration season, the Serengeti remains the most exciting and spectacular place that will not fail to enchant. You’ll have dinner and your overnight stay at Serengeti tented camp.
