Day 4
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
The entire day will be dedicated to game drives in the Serengeti National Park. The specific areas visited will be determined by the movement of the migrating herds. Predators such as lions, leopards (often found in the acacia trees), and cheetahs typically trail closely behind these herds. In November and December, during the short rainy season, the herds migrate from the northern hills to the southern plains. They then return north during the longer rainy season from April to June. The migration patterns vary annually based on rainfall, so your guide will ensure you are in the best locations to observe these magnificent animals. Later in the day, you'll head to your accommodation in Ngorongoro for a well-deserved rest.
