Serengeti National Park

After spending the entire morning seeing wildlife on the vast plains of the Serengeti, we will have lunch at a picnic area inside the park around 1:30pm. We will then carry on with our game drive until nightfall. Most people are familiar with the Serengeti because of the yearly migration that crosses the vast savannah grasslands. Thousands upon thousands of animals, mostly wildebeest, as far as the eye can see, make for an amazing spectacle. In addition to the wildebeest, other notable inhabitants of the Serengeti are cheetahs, leopards, and lions, some of which stay on the central plain and migrate with the latter. We will return to Central Serengeti Luxury Camps for dinner and an overnight stay.
