Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, on the way to Serengeti, you will pass by the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy the crater view before heading to your destination. Serengeti originates from the Maasai word "Siringitu" and means "endless plains". You will see why the Maasai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the south and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes. These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats. You will have a good chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy a meal and later arrive at your destination for the day. You will head to your lodge for the night and enjoy a good dinner in the middle of the African bush.
