Central Serengeti national park

After an early breakfast, you’ll set off for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Although the drive is long, it offers breathtaking views that make every mile worth it.

As you venture deeper into the Serengeti, you’ll quickly understand why its name, meaning "endless plains" in the local language, is so fitting. Covering an impressive 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the park's vast plains stretch endlessly to the horizon, creating a surreal landscape that will leave you in awe.

The Serengeti is the heart of the Great Migration, where 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and countless antelopes cross the plains in search of fresh grazing. It's also a haven for big cats and large predators, making it the ideal place to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. This iconic park has been the backdrop for countless wildlife documentaries, including the famous River Crossings, bringing its stunning natural drama to the world stage.
