Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is nothing short of breathtaking, renowned for its expansive grasslands that offer unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. This iconic landscape has remained largely unchanged for millions of years, creating a timeless habitat for a diverse array of animals. Is perhaps most famous for the great migration, a phenomenal event where massive herds of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and antelopes, traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. This migration is a year-round spectacle, and the best spots to witness it vary depending on the month.
The Serengeti provides excellent chances to observe predators in action. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards roam these lands, adding an extra layer of excitement to your safari. The entire experience is truly transformative, offering moments of awe and wonder.
In the afternoon, as you begin your journey back to Karatu, you’ll have the opportunity to relish more of the Serengeti's remarkable beauty along the way.

The park is framed by the majestic Great Rift Escarpment, which rises imposingly along its western edge.
The park is named after its shallow, saltwater lake, which dominates the landscape. As you explore, you may encounter baboons and elephants within the lush evergreen forest, and keep an eye out for the park's famous tree-climbing lions, a rare and captivating sight.
You'll enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the stunning scenery. After your game drive, you will bid farewell to your guide and be transferred to your chosen destination, whether it's Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Airport.
