Serengeti - Karatu

We will once more enjoy an early breakfast and set off on our game drive at about 6:30 am, spending 6-7 hours exploring this incredible park. The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, including impala, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippo. It is most well-known, however, for its great migrating herds of zebras (two hundred and fifty thousand), wildebeest (one and a half million!) and antelope (half a million). The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, we may see predators, such as leopard, cheetah, and lion, stalking their prey. At roughly 2:00 pm, we will head back to Karatu, arriving at our carefully selected mid-range partner lodge in time for dinner. We'll be in an excellently appointed restaurant (with a pool nearby for relaxation if desired) before partaking in a digest if by the fire with the endless African sky above. Your capacious quarters await you for a night of ease and dreams of wild cats.

As you explore the park, you'll encounter a variety of wildlife including playful monkeys, graceful giraffes, striped zebras, herds of wildebeests, sturdy buffaloes, and towering elephants.
