Journey to Serengeti National Park

Journey to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You’ll have the opportunity to stop and take in the spectacular views of the Ngorongoro Crater. Then, continue your journey through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering the southern part of the park.
The Serengeti is nothing short of spectacular. Famous for its vast open grasslands, the park offers excellent wildlife sightings. While it’s home to abundant wildlife year-round, it’s perhaps best known for the Great Migration. Each year, vast numbers of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes move in a continuous search for fresh grazing. The migration can be witnessed at various times of the year, depending on where you are in the park.
