Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The entirety of today is set aside for game driving in Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, including impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, but is best known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year.
In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions, always lurking close by.
You'll continue the game drive until the evening, when you return to Serengeti Wildebeest Camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
