Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

You will be headed for the central area of the park, known as the Seronera, which is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River provides a valuable water source to this section of the park and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. You’ll arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Seronera campsite.
