Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you will start a game drive in the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains".

The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km); for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings filmed in this park.

This vast crater is inhabited by the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet; almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. The crater contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephant that resides here has extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. You will enjoy lunch during this extraordinary game drive.
