Karatu - Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, enjoy a game en route to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro. Afterwards, we will visit the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world—Serengeti National Park. The word ‘Serengeti’ means ‘endless plains’, which describes the park’s 5,600 square mile boundary. Yet for its sprawling area, the Serengeti does not disappoint when it comes to rich game-viewing. Annually, from May to December, millions of animals embark on a migration which brings them from central Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara and back again in an incredible spectacle. Even during the ‘down-time’, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle roam here, along with groups of elephant, giraffe, and buffalo. As the lions, leopard, cheetah, hyenas and jackals stalk their meals, we will enjoy a picnic lunch in this open arena. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Mara Tingitana Tented Camp.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Main Destination:
