Serengeti

Today, you will have a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti, searching for the Big 5 and other animals. Serengeti National Park is a vast park with almost 15,000 sq. km. Every side of the park has seasonal visits, depending on the time of the year, due to the migration of animals.

The Central Serengeti, where we stay, is an area visited all year round because it has its resident animals. Your full-day game drive allows you to view different animals and their habits.
