Your destination is the central part of the park, known as the Seronera area.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Every year, millions of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras embark on a thrilling journey across the Serengeti plains in search of fresh grass and water. Witnessing this incredible migration as they travel from north to south, closely followed by their predators, is truly a breathtaking experience. This is undoubtedly the best time to visit the Serengeti!

The southern and northern plains of the Serengeti serve as the primary feeding grounds for the herds. These animals are in constant motion, traveling back and forth between the two regions throughout the year. With some degree of predictability, we can anticipate their location at any given time. After an awe-inspiring day of wildlife encounters, you'll return to your camp for a restful overnight stay and a delicious dinner.

After breakfast, you'll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game drive. Known as one of the most wildlife-rich areas in Africa, the crater is home to around 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos.

Thanks to a year-round supply of water and abundant vegetation, the crater supports a diverse range of species. Here, you'll find large herds of wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, elands, warthogs, hippos, and massive African elephants. The crater is also renowned for its high concentration of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard. During the day, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor, surrounded by this stunning wildlife haven.
