Full Day Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast you will drive to another part of Serengeti national park, to explore the vast reaches of this park where the big cats: lions, leopards and cheetahs abounds. After the short rains, the Serengeti’s magical golden horizon transforms into an endless green carpet, flecked with wildflowers. The famous plains are interspersed with wooded hills, towering termite mounds and monumental rock kopjes and rivers lined with elegant acacia trees.
The vast Serengeti is one of the most stunning wildlife sanctuaries on the planet. The name comes from the Maasai “Siringet” referring to endless plains. This vast savannah hosts the world’s largest surviving concentration of plains game. In addition to the short grass plains there are beautiful rocky out-cropping called kopjes (pronounced copies) and thousands of acres of bush and acacia woodland. The Seronera area has permanent water and therefore is an excellent area to spot the big cats and elephant in the dry season.

The day will be spent visiting Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famous for its elephants and in the dry season is home to huge herds of buffalo and significant numbers of zebra and wildebeest. There are long vistas and a baobab studded landscape which makes for a very different environment to the other parks. Red dust, palms and baobabs set the scene for glorious sunrise and sunset photos. At the dry time of year the Tarangire River is the only source of water for miles around attracting herds of elephant, wildebeest and zebra. This park is a good place to site the illusive leopard and there are over 550 species of birds that breed here, the most in any habitat in the world.
