Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you’ll pack up and set off with your luggage in the safari jeep, enjoying an en-route game drive toward the Serengeti. Lunch will be served along the way as you pass through the breathtaking landscapes of the Great Rift Valley and admire sweeping views of the Ngorongoro Crater.

In the afternoon, embark on an exciting game drive in Central Serengeti, where you’ll witness the golden African sunset over the endless plains. Later, enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at Seronera Campsite, right in the heart of the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is famed for its vast open plains and the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration, involving over 1.5 million wildebeest and countless zebras and predators that trail their movement. Driven by seasonal droughts, the herds travel across nearly every corner of the park. With the expertise of your driver-guide, you’ll have the chance to experience this natural wonder up close and witness part of the migration during your stay.
