The Serengeti is renowned for its vast savannahs and diverse landscapes. Spanning approximately 30,000 km² across northern Tanzania and Kenya, with 80% in Tanzania, the park is famous for its dramatic migration of around 1.5 million herbivores and predators, driven by the drought from the northern hills to the southern plains. After the rains in mid-April, the migration shifts westward.
In the late afternoon, we’ll reach Matawi Serengeti Camp, where you can relax and watch the beautiful Serengeti sunset.
