Bird enthusiasts can spot nearly 500 species, including various eagles, hawks, vultures, storks, bustards, and sunbirds.

Day 4

Masai Mara to Serengeti

Masai Mara to Serengeti

We will initiate the day with an early morning game drive in Masai Mara while driving out of the national reserve. After border formalities, we'll drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It will be a long day of driving but the game drives going in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible.

However, we always recommend flying from one park to the other so that you can have more time to go on safari. Alternatively, you can add an extra day to visit Lake Victoria, that's halfway between the two parks.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park (Tanzania)
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)

It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains.
