It is a true spectacle and impressive to watch millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles thunder across the endless plains of the Serengeti. Together with your private guide, you will be looking for the herds across the plains. Apart from the migratory animals, you will also get to see lots of other animals like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many more.
