Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti | From Crater to Endless Plains

Today is dedicated entirely to the Serengeti. With no need to change parks, you can enjoy a relaxed full-day safari designed around wildlife activity and your interests.

The Serengeti is also the heart of the Great Migration, and seasonal movements can bring extraordinary wildlife encounters. While nature is never guaranteed, your guide will use local knowledge and current sightings to give you the best possible opportunities.

Serengeti Full-Day Safari | A Deeper Serengeti Experience

Wake up in the heart of the Serengeti and enjoy another full day dedicated to exploration. Having multiple nights in the park allows you to experience more than a quick game-drive visit and gives your guide flexibility to explore different wildlife areas.

Set out after breakfast, or begin with an early morning game drive if you would like to experience the Serengeti at its most atmospheric. Watch the plains come alive as predators return from their nocturnal activity and herds begin moving across the landscape.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your afternoon exploration. Your final evening in the Serengeti provides the perfect opportunity to slow down, enjoy the scenery and appreciate the extraordinary setting before your journey continues to Zanzibar.
