Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before continuing to Serengeti National Park, stopping for game viewing along the way. The Serengeti is without a doubt the most well-known wildlife reserve in the world, unparalleled in terms of natural beauty and scientific importance. It also features Africa's highest concentration of plains game. The Serengeti is arguably most known for its migrations. Every October and November, more than a million wildebeest and approximately 200,000 zebras migrate south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains. They then swirl west and north following the heavy rains in April, May, and June. No drought, gorge, or crocodile-infested river can deter their ancient need to migrate.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The entire day is reserved for additional wildlife drives in the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is home to a diverse range of animals, including impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, but it is most known for its vast migration of zebras and wildebeests. The animals' migration is determined by rainfall, which changes from year to year. In November and December, the animals migrate from the northern section, which is dominated by woods and hills, to the southern Serengeti's grassy plains. They migrate back to the north during the long rainy season, which runs from April to June. Aside from the moving herds, you might spot predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions, who are always nearby.
