The place is characterized by the large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees - also called the "tree of life" for its almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to it. This park is especially well known for the Tarangire River which flows all year round and the only source of water for wild animals.
In the evening, you will exit the park and drive to your campsite for dinner and overnight.

Major attractions in Serengeti are the endless plains and the great wildebeest migration which involves 1.5 million herbivores and predators. They move from one area to another through almost all parts of the Serengeti because of drought. Our driver guide will make sure that you see a part of the wildebeest migration, the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti’s wildebeest accompanied by large numbers of zebra and smaller numbers of Grant’s gazelle, Thomson’s gazelle, eland, and impala. After a late game drive, you will drive back to your campsite.

Central Serengeti game drive
You will wake up early, have a full breakfast, and then start a full-day game drive in the key areas of Serengeti. We will make sure that you follow the wildebeest migration during your tour with us. The great migration varies every year. The best chance of seeing it is from June to September, while the wildebeest calving is from January to March. From July to September, our driver will take you to Northern Serengeti where you'll be able to see them crossing the Mara River.
A million and a half of these majestic animals travel throughout the year as they look for fresh grazing pasture and follow the rainfall for better water sources. After your full-day game drive, you head back to your accommodation for dinner and overnight in your campsite.
