Day 2

Central Serengeti National Park

Central Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, we will proceed to the Serengeti, the world's most well-known national park. Despite being lengthy, the actual drive is breathtaking. Anyone witnessing it for the first time will remember it forever. You will understand why the Serengeti is called the "endless plains" in the local tongue as you go deeper into the park. The park is 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) in size, and for the majority of that area, the plains will extend to the horizon, confounding your idea of time and space. In addition to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and several antelope species, it is the starting point of the Great Migration. Big cats and other huge predators may be found there, and the park has served as the location for several television productions, including the renowned River Crossings.

The crater covers 102 square miles and features 2,000-foot-high walls, like Noah's ark. It is home to nearly every kind of animals indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the few places on the entire continent where you can see a black rhino. The crater has a river, many marshes, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, a forest, and wide grasslands.
