Central Serengeti National Park

You will spend a full day in Central Serengeti National Park with morning and afternoon game-viewing drives.

The Serengeti National Park is a 6,900 sq. mile park inhabited by more than 1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 thousand zebra, and in the region of 500,000 gazelle. January to April is the season when the wildebeest calves, with upwards of half a million young being born. Large predators including lion, cheetah, and hyena, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey. Many smaller animals, such as rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon, and African hare, can also be found with nearly 500 species of birds. After our game drive, we will return to the camp for dinner and overnight.

The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle – the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search of fresh pastures. Each year, they trek over 2,500km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators. Depending on the time of your visit, your driver-guide can share with you where the herd’s current location is in northern Serengeti.

An optional activity of a hot-air balloon is available.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras and attendant predators. In the evening, return to the lodge for dinner.
