Day 3-4
Serengeti full-day game drive
Serengeti full-day game drive
You will spend two days game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas you will visit depend on the location of the herds. During the short, rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the long, rainy season from April to June, they return back north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls. 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. Serengeti has a large number of lions compared to any other national park in Africa. Your safari guide will give you all the information about Serengeti and he will follow the great wildebeest migration.
