Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south, while during the longer rainy season from April to June, they return back up north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls, and the locations of the herds might vary from year to year, but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best.
A visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre is also possible. Here, you can learn more about the history of the park and the research that the Frankfurter Zoological Society is doing. You will spend another night at Serengeti Tortilis Camp.
