Karatu to Serengeti National Park
After having breakfast in the early morning and packing our lunch boxes, we make our way towards Serengeti National Park through Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoying game drives along the way, there is a chance to visit Olduvai Gorge, where the Leakey's made groundbreaking archaeological discoveries in the 1950s. Pre-booking is necessary for this visit. After lunch, we continue on into the vast plains of the Serengeti, occasionally stopping to observe acacia trees and kopjes scattered throughout the landscape. December, January, and February are prime months to witness the migration of large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. And of course, resident animals like giraffes, buffaloes, and elephants can be seen year-round, along with formidable predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
