Tarangire – Serengeti National Park

Start your day with a hearty breakfast before embarking on an exciting journey towards the renowned Serengeti National Park. As you travel, you’ll traverse the scenic highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, witnessing picturesque landscapes along the way. Leaving the highlands behind, you’ll descend into the heart of wild Africa, entering the vast expanse of the Serengeti National Park, where endless plains unfold as far as the eye can see.

Your destination is the central park area, known as the Seronera area, celebrated for its abundance of wildlife.

Day 4

Full Day Serengeti National Park

Kickstart your day with a delightful breakfast, setting the stage for an exhilarating full-day game drive within the Serengeti National Park. Lunch will be served at a charming picnic spot along the route, providing a perfect interlude amid the stunning landscapes.

Depending on the season, you may have the incredible opportunity to witness one of nature’s most breathtaking events—the great migration. Hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson’s gazelles traverse the Serengeti in a spectacle unrivaled in the animal kingdom. During the small rainy season in October and November, the herds typically journey from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the southern plains. Following the great rainy season in April, May, and June, the herds gradually return through the western and north-western parts of the park.

It’s crucial to note that the migration timetable can be influenced by changes in rainfall, leading to variations in migration timing and routes. Rest assured, your guide will make every effort to locate the herds, optimizing your chances of witnessing this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. The migration also attracts predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas, offering the potential for thrilling predator-prey interactions.

As the day unfolds with adventure and wonder, you’ll return to your accommodation in the evening for a delicious dinner and a restful overnight stay. Reflect on the day’s extraordinary encounters and recharge for more safari excitement on the following day.
