Day 4
Western Serengeti National Park Game Drive
Western Serengeti National Park Game Drive
After breakfast, you will head straight towards the western corridor on which the drive takes approximately 1.5 hours.
Around the end of April, May, and June, a vast army of wildebeests along with its partners: zebras, elands, and gazelles mill around the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, south of the Grumeti River. You can encounter leopards and hyenas and ahead of giant Nile crocodiles, many hundreds perish as some hazard the river crossing while others detour it. But the beauty of the landscape, stretching without end beneath an infinite sky on a Serengeti West Safari, changes something within the watcher, who becomes more aware of the place of humankind within the drama of the animal world.
You will then head straight to your accommodation, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 5
Central Serengeti National Park Game Drive
Central Serengeti National Park Game Drive
This entire day is set aside for game drives upon the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impalas, buffalos, crocodiles, and hippos, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras, antelopes, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After an extensive game drive, you'll head for your tented lodge for a hearty dinner and another night by the fire of relaxation and conversation under the sweeping majesty of the star-bright African night out upon the ‘endless plain.
