Day 4
Full day Game drive at Serengeti National Park
Full day Game drive at Serengeti National Park
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in Serengeti National Park. Your itinerary will be guided by the location of the migrating herds, as predators like lions, leopards (often seen in acacia trees), and cheetahs follow closely behind. During the short rainy season from November to December, the herds move from the northern hills to the southern plains, while in the longer rainy season from April to June, they migrate back north. Since the migration patterns depend on annual rainfall, the herds' location can vary each year, but your guide will be well-informed on where to find the best viewing opportunities. You will spend another night at the lodge, enjoying the unique Serengeti environment.
