The major attractions in Serengeti are its endless plains and the great Serengeti wildebeest migration which involves 1.5 herbivores moving from one area to another for food. They are always followed by predators. Our driver-guide will make sure that you will see a part of the wildebeest migration to experience the movement of vast numbers of Serengeti’s wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra, and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala.
