Upon arrival, you will enjoy lunch before embarking on an exciting afternoon game drive through this world-renowned park. The Serengeti is famous for its vast open plains, which are dotted with savannahs and forested areas. It is home to the awe-inspiring great migration, during which approximately 1.5 million herbivores and the predators that follow them migrate from the northern hills to the southern plains in search of water and fresh grazing. After the seasonal rains arrive in mid-April, they begin their return journey via the park's western corridor.
As the sun begins to set, we will travel to the campsite in the heart of the Serengeti, where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the sounds of the wild.
