Day 7

Wildlife Viewing in Serengeti National Park

Wildlife Viewing in Serengeti National Park

This is Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park. Today, you have a full day of wildlife viewing.

The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Interestingly, even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa. A visit to the Serengeti guarantees you views of great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephants, giraffes, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala, and Grant's gazelle.
The Serengeti is an open plain, which means animals can be seen from a great distance away. It boasts a high number of wild animals. It is very vast, which means even when you stay for a week here, you could do game drives in different areas with many features and animals to explore.

All meals and overnight stay will be at Seronera Wildlife Lodge.
