Day 5

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Enjoy breakfast and proceed on an exhilarating full-day game drive and wildlife viewing in Serengeti National Park.

The Serengeti landscape is of mesmerizing beauty. While a sizable part of the park consists of seasonally flooded plains, forests, and shrub savannahs, the Serengeti is primarily defined by one thing: vast grassy plains. Being surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle is an experience of a lifetime. In their annual migration north, they stampede over vast open plains and plunge into crocodile-infested rivers, all while the predators endlessly hunt them.

After your picnic lunch on the Serengeti plains, you continue your game drive until the evening. You return to the camp as the sun sets over the horizon to wind down next to the crackling bushfire.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the Embalakai Tented Camp.
