The park also hosts large numbers of buffalo, giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a hippo-filled lake.

Game drives take place along the lake, offering stunning views of giraffes and buffalo in the foreground, with the lake, flamingos, and flat plains stretching out in the distance—these make for great photo opportunities!

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Today we’ll drive to Serengeti National Park, home of the Great Migration. The drive is spectacular as you ascend the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a bird's-eye view of the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. As you crest the hillside, the vast Serengeti unfolds before you—an endless expanse of plains. Indeed, the name "Serengeti" means "endless plains" in Kiswahili, and this 18,000-square-kilometer park is home to over two million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebra, and Thomson’s gazelles.
Large predators, such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by the abundance of prey that migrates throughout the park. Smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the region, along with nearly 500 bird species.
Upon arrival, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.
