After breakfast depart to Serengeti for an authentic and exciting safari experience.
A World Heritage Site and proclaimed Seventh Wonder of the World, Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park is famous for being host to the annual Great Migration migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, ranging from mega-herds of millions of wildebeest to more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle searching for fresh grazing.
Yet, even when the migration moves on, the Serengeti offers the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of giant elephant and statuesque giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. And where there is food, there are predators, so the Serengeti’s big cat and predator concentration is high all year round.
