Serengeti national park
Serengeti national park
After an early breakfast, you’ll set off for Serengeti National Park—one of the most iconic and celebrated wildlife destinations on the planet. Though the drive is long, it’s filled with stunning scenery and shifting landscapes. As you arrive, you’ll quickly understand why the Serengeti, meaning “endless plains” in the local language, is so aptly named. Spanning 18,000 square kilometers (6,900 sq miles), the vast open terrain seems to stretch forever. This legendary park is home to the Great Migration, where over 2 million wildebeests, along with countless zebras and antelopes, move in search of fresh grazing. It's also a haven for big cats like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as hyenas. Many famous wildlife documentaries, especially those featuring dramatic river crossings, were filmed here.
Accommodation: Customizable to suit your comfort—choose from ultra- luxury, mid-range, or budget lodges.

It's one of the few places where you may spot the endangered black rhino. The Crater features diverse habitats, including a river, swamps, open plains, a soda lake home to flamingos, and a lush forest. It's also known for its massive elephants with enormous tusks.
