Manyara - Serengeti National Park
Manyara - Serengeti National Park
Have an early breakfast and drive to Serengeti with game viewing en-route. Serengeti is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequaled for its natural beauty and scientific value. It has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November. They then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought or crocodile-infested river can hold them back. Serengeti is truly home to the legendary great wildebeest migration.
The park is rich with wildlife, endless plains, sunrises, and sunsets that make the heart go wild. A packed lunch will be served at a picnic site. In the late afternoon, drive to Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

The crater has achieved world-renowned status, attracting an ever-increasing number of visitors each year.
