The park is well known for its large elephant herds and is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of your safari jeep, experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River endeavouring to encounter a multitude of creatures from zebras to wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and giraffes, to name but a few. It is possible you'll see lions stalking prey or leopards relaxing in the trees above.

After an early breakfast, you'll depart for the most famous national park in the world. The drive itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains." The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration where 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes cross annually. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.

Very well organised and many great Employees, especially our Tour Guide Kindu!
We (as a family of 4) did a 4 Day Safari Trip to Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater. We had the time of our lives!! It was an unbelievable experience. As we went there at the beginning of May, it was almost the end of the rain season, the temperature was perfect for a Safari. Not too hot and not too cold. Thanks to our Guide, the Legend KINDU we managed to see every single animal that we wanted to see. With his 15 years of experience he knew exactly where to bring us and told us very interesting facts about the animals. 10/10.

Great Safari Experience with an Excellent Guide
We had an amazing 4-day safari experience with Kindu as our guide and couldn’t be happier with how everything went. From the very beginning, Kindu was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. He made us feel comfortable at all times and was always very accommodating to our needs. His calm and positive attitude made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We saw so much wildlife in just a few days – it truly exceeded our expectations. Kindu has a great eye for spotting animals and always made sure we had the best possible views without feeling rushed. What really stood out was his knowledge and experience. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and shared interesting insights about the animals and the environment. You can tell he is very experienced and passionate about what he does. Overall, it was a fantastic safari and we would highly recommend Kindu as a guide. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
