Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Today you will continue your African safari experience to one of the country’s biggest drawcards - the Serengeti National Park. The endless plains and abundance of wildlife that call the Serengeti home are unsurpassed. The wildebeest migration with more than a million wildebeest, is probably the highlight of the Serengeti. It is a true spectacle and impressive to watch millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles thunder across the endless plains of the Serengeti.

Together with your private guide, you will be looking for the herds across the plains. Apart from the migratory animals, you will also get to see lots of other animals like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many more. Expect to be impressed by the natural beauty of Africa’s most famous park.
