Day 5 – Serengeti National Park

Drive through Ngorongoro Conservation area to Serengeti National Park. Serengeti National Park is well-known for its large yearly migration of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles. Seeking new grazing, the herds migrate north from their breeding areas in the verdant southern plains. The crocodile-infested Grumeti River in the swampy western corridor is a popular crossing point. Every year, nearly 2 million wildebeests and zebras travel a distance of about 800 kilometers. They spend the majority of the year grazing in the southeastern section of the habitat, from November to May. But as the pastures wither, they travel for the western Serengeti, where they’ll spend June and July, before continuing their journey north to the lush grasslands of the Masai Mara.

Start your adventure the moment you arrive. Enjoy lunch at one of the park’s picnic areas in the afternoon. Continue with your safari after lunch until the evening. Drive to your destination for dinner and overnight.
