Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
An early morning safari in Serengeti starts with a healthy breakfast served at the camp, and after that, we will head for a game-viewing drive. The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands, allowing excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. While the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for its annual great migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope, move annually, constantly seeking fresh grazing grounds. The precise timing of the migration depends on the rainfall patterns each year. A packed lunch will be served at a picnic site or a hot lunch with a short break at the camp.
