After breakfast, we head towards Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa—the Serengeti National Park—where vast, endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see. Our destination is the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. The Seronera River, which flows through this region, provides a vital water source that attracts a wide variety of wildlife, representative of many of the Serengeti’s species.

We arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park.

After exploring the park, you will be transferred to your lodge for the night.

The northern region is home to a variety of wildlife, including zebras, topis, gazelles, buffaloes, leopards, and lions. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch during this full-day drive.

As usual, after a hearty breakfast, you will begin your day at 8 AM. Between mid-June and September, the migration can be found in this region. During these months, the Mara River offers the most dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration. Fierce, deep, and rain-fed, the river takes a heavy toll on the migrating wildebeest. Watching the wildebeest surge through the strong currents, with some drowning and others falling prey to lurking crocodiles, is an unforgettable sight. If you’re lucky, you may witness this natural wonder and watch nature take its course. Following the migration, you might even venture toward the Lobo Valley. The pristine Lobo Valley is scattered with woodlands, plains, hills, and the famous granite kopjes. It offers an abundance of big cats, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. During the dry season, the valley’s permanent water sources attract plenty of resident and migratory animals, making for excellent game viewing. During the full-day game drive, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch. The day will conclude with a delicious dinner and a restful night at your accommodation.

The four-hour drive to the heart of the Serengeti will offer some mild game viewing along the way.

The central Serengeti, known as the Seronera area, is one of the park’s richest wildlife habitats. It features the Seronera River, a vital water source that attracts a variety of wildlife, representative of most Serengeti species. As you approach the Seronera region, you’ll notice the hilly, rugged landscape giving way to open grasslands. In Seronera, be on the lookout for the many lion prides that thrive here.

After lunch at a picnic site, you will head towards the Ngorongoro Crater. As you reach the edge of the crater, the vast caldera opens up before you.
