Transfer from Manyara to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will depart for Serengeti National Park for a game drive and enjoy lunch within the park. In the afternoon, we will continue the game drive before reaching the lodge or camp for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

The park is well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The rainfall determines the animals' trek and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, characterized by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south (Ndutu area). During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the northern Serengeti. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
