Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Start your day with an early morning game drive, offering a chance to spot rare nocturnal species and observe the early activity of diurnal animals. This is a prime time to see wildlife up close, as many animals gather near the roads to avoid the morning dew. After enjoying breakfast at your camp, spend the rest of the day exploring the Serengeti National Park. The park’s name, derived from the Maasai word "Siringit," meaning "endless plains," perfectly captures its vast, open landscapes. Traverse the sweeping savannahs in search of the Serengeti’s diverse wildlife, including elephants, zebras, and a variety of predators. While the Great Migration of wildebeests is a highlight, the park also teems with other remarkable species, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience. Return to your camp or lodge in the evening for a well-earned rest.
