You will drive to Serengeti National Park which is roughly a 6 hours’ drive, with a visit to up the crater highlands, stopping at the stunning sceneries of the Maasai steep, the escapement of the Lake Manyara National Park and the rim for a spectacular view of the Ngorongoro Crater and continuing as far as the eye can see, the vast view of the Serengeti. You will go with your packed lunch, before you drive into Serengeti National Park, to kick off your game drive, in search for the wildlife of the day. Serengeti means “endless plain” and is inhabited by more than 2 million wildebeest and other wildlife. From January to April the wildebeest, plains zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle give birth to their calves. Large predators including lion, cheetah, and hyena are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey that migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon, and African hare also inhabit the area. There are also over 500 species of birds. Picnic lunch will be served at the park, thereafter continue on a game drive en-route towards the center of the park, the best valley that displays various species of wildlife because of its permanent water, as the evening set in, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
