Day 3
Central Serengeti National Park
This entire day is set aside for game drives in the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life. After an unforgettable day, you will return to Central Serengeti Luxury Camp for relaxation, dinner, and our overnight stay.

Additionally, keep an eye out for predators like lions and hyenas that often follow the herds for an easy meal. You might also encounter elephants, giraffes, and various bird species.

This is one of the most densely populated wildlife areas in the world. It is a unique area where animals and humans, as the authentic Maasai and Hadzabe, live together.
