Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you'll set off on a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, heading toward Serengeti National Park, with opportunities for wildlife sightings along the way. Serengeti is world-famous for its breathtaking beauty and remarkable scientific importance, serving as the ultimate sanctuary for the continent’s vast plains game.
What truly sets the Serengeti apart, however, is the spectacular annual migration. Every October and November, over a million wildebeest and around 200,000 zebras travel south from the northern hills to the southern plains in search of the short rains. Their ancient migratory instinct is so strong that nothing—not even droughts, ravines, or crocodile-filled rivers—can stop them.
The Serengeti is the epicenter of the legendary wildebeest migration. As the day draws to a close, you'll return to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
