Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, we'll embark on a picturesque drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area en route to Serengeti National Park, with wildlife sightings along the way. Serengeti is globally renowned for its unparalleled natural beauty and significant scientific value, serving as the continent's premier sanctuary for plains game.

However, what truly sets Serengeti apart is its awe-inspiring annual migration. Each October and November, over a million wildebeest and approximately 200,000 zebras migrate south from the northern hills to the southern plains in search of greener pastures. This ancient instinct to migrate is so powerful that no obstacle, whether drought, ravine, or crocodile-filled river, can deter them.
