Early morning, we depart straight to Serengeti National Park passing through Ngorongoro Conservation Area, stopping at a built viewpoint that provides a near 180° view of the Ngorongoro crater. The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest National Park and it is also one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. Serengeti offers an exotic game-viewing experience in the whole of Africa giving you up-close look of the animals: great herds of Buffalo, smaller groups of Elephant and Giraffe, and thousands of Eland, Topi, Impala and Grant’s gazelle. Also Serengeti is known for its large number of predators including Lions, Leopards, Cheetah, Jackals & Hyenas

After breakfast, we continue with game drive viewing the great migration. River crossings starts in August as the mega herd settles into the area. Between August- October, game viewing is at its best with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses.
Please note that it can be very difficult to witness crossing and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to river and only decide to cross a couple of days later.
After extensive and fascinating game drive we will head back to our accommodation for dinner and overnight.
