Day 3

Karatu to Afternoon Game drive Central Serengeti

Karatu to Afternoon Game drive Central Serengeti

The Central Serengeti is the heart of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and one of the most iconic wildlife destinations in the world. Famous for its vast, open plains and an abundance of wildlife, this region is home to a high concentration of predators, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards, as well as large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles. Central Serengeti is particularly renowned for being a prime location to witness the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores move through the area in search of fresh grazing grounds. The expansive savannah is dotted with scattered acacia trees, creating a picturesque backdrop for game drives. Visitors can expect to see a variety of animals throughout the year, with exceptional predator-prey interactions, especially in the Seronera River Valley, which attracts large populations of hippos and crocodiles.

Full Game Drive Northen Serengeti

The Northern Serengeti is one of the most unique and sought-after regions of Serengeti National Park, renowned for its stunning landscapes and exceptional wildlife experiences. Located near the border with Kenya, this area is particularly famous for the Mara River, where one of the most dramatic events of the Great Migration unfolds – the river crossings. Between July and October, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles courageously navigate the river, facing perilous challenges as they avoid the lurking crocodiles and hippos. The Northern Serengeti is less frequented by tourists compared to the southern and central parts of the park, making it a more remote and tranquil destination. It offers breathtaking views of the plains, wooded hills, and the winding riverbanks, providing an unspoiled environment where visitors can experience intimate wildlife encounters.
