Drive to Dunia Camp in the Serengeti
Drive to Dunia Camp in the Serengeti
After breakfast you will start your journey to the next destination- The Serengeti. The descent from the crater rim into the sweeping, open short grass plains of Ngorongoro and the Serengeti serves as a stunning introduction to the "southern plains." However, it's a lengthy journey that may become dusty when vehicles pass in the opposite direction. At Naabi Hill Gate, a stop for park fees, you'll find a shaded spot beneath the trees to enjoy your picnic lunch. Take a short walk up Naabi Hill to capture some of the Serengeti's finest views, especially during the Migration season. It's approximately a 2.5-hour drive to Dunia Camp from here, though this may vary depending on the wildlife encounters along the way. Arriving at the camp in the mid-afternoon, you'll have time to unwind, freshen up, and immerse yourself in your new surroundings.
A delightful dinner at the camp marks the end of the day.
