Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the vast Serengeti National Park, one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations. The park is home to a rich variety of animals, including impalas, buffaloes, crocodiles, and hippos, but it’s best known for the spectacular Great Migration—a breathtaking movement of thousands of wildebeest and zebras in search of fresh grazing. The timing of the migration depends on the rainfall, with herds moving from the northern woodlands to the southern plains around November and December, and returning north between April and June. Beyond the migrating herds, you may encounter powerful predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, always watching from the shadows.

After an unforgettable day of game viewing, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, surrounded by the serene sounds of the African wilderness.
