Serengeti National Park to Karatu
Early in the morning after breakfast, you'll continue exploring the vast Serengeti, renowned for its endless plains and large populations of big cats. The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world, making it a prime destination for African safaris. It is most famous for this migration, where over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras move south from the northern hills to the southern plains during the short rains in October and November, and then west and north after the long rains in April, May, and June. This ancient migratory instinct is so strong that neither drought, gorges, nor crocodile-infested rivers can deter them. After lunch, you'll drive straight to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.
