Animals range from swarms of yellow-breasted lovebirds to kudu, buffalo, giraffe, eland, and the weird-looking gerenuk. Predators include lions, leopards and hyenas, while wild dogs are rare.
In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the Ngedere Campsite close to lake manyara park for dinner and overnight.

Day 2
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will leave the camp and drive via the Ngorongoro area to Serengeti National Park. It is recommended that you time your trip to coincide with the drier months (June to October). Aim for June and July if you can, as the incredible wildebeest migration usually tramples the plains at this time. If you're keen on seeing predators in action, visit in late January or February. This is the hiatus in the annual rains when the wildebeests calve. In the evening, drive to Seronera public Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.

Aside from the big cats, many other predators can be seen, including spotted hyenas (especially in the morning). In the evening, drive to Seronera Public Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.
