At the end of the day, we will go to Africa Safari Lake Manyara where you spend the night in a safari tent.

Serengeti National Park

We then head towards the Serengeti. After a few hours of driving, we will arrive at the Serengeti gate. After lunch, we start our game drive, covering this beautiful park for the remainder of the afternoon.

Known for both its forest landscapes and the endless plains of savannah, the park is famous for its migration involving about 1.5 million herbivores and predators moving across the plains in search of water. You’ll also have the opportunity to spend time around Lake Ndutu, known for being home to six species of Big Cats: lion, leopard, cheetah, caracal, serval, and African wildcat.

Your home for two nights is Africa Safari South Serengeti, perfectly situated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with convenient access to the crater, and on the south side of Lake Ndutu, just outside the Serengeti National Park. This is truly the best of both worlds!
