Northern Serengeti-Central Serengeti National Park

This entire day is set aside for further game drives in the park. The Central Serengeti is the habitat for abundant wildlife, such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, but is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest.

The animals’ trek, or migration, is determined by the rainfall and varies yearly. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south.

The herds return to the north during the extended rainy season from April to June. Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the chance to spot predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions, always lurking close by. With our full day on the plains accomplished, we return to our lodge for a well-deserved rest, encased in our comfortable beds and sleeping bags, dreaming of wild cats!

In the evening return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
