Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Arusha to Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you will depart from Arusha and travel towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. Although the drive is long, it is spectacular! You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of the Ngorongoro Crater. The sights are unforgettable for anyone seeing it for the first time!

As you progress towards the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, 'endless plains.' The size of the park is more than 18,000km² (6,900mi²), and for most of it, the grassy plains stretch into the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and 2 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes, including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelle. As for big cats and large predators, it is the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
