The entire day is dedicated to exploring the Serengeti through exhilarating game drives. Renowned for its abundant wildlife including impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, the Serengeti is most famous for its vast migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. Their migration patterns are dictated by rainfall, shifting from the northern woodlands and hills to the southern grassy plains in November and December, and returning north during the longer rainy season from April to June. In addition to witnessing these iconic migrations, there's a chance to encounter resident predators like leopards, cheetahs, and lions, playing their vital role in the ecosystem. After an unforgettable day, we'll return to your accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and a night's rest amidst the endless plains of the Serengeti.
