Here, you have a chance to spot different animals like lions, leopards, cheetah, lesser Kudu, buffalo, Oryx, elands, giraffes, zebras, etc. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your camp.

Accommodation

• Serengeti Safari Lodge

The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the central Serengeti National Park. The areas you will visit will depend on the location of the herds. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. On the other hand, during the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls and locations of the herds might vary from year to year. However, your guide will know where to find the animals and where to spot them best. Here you can learn more about the history of the park and research that is being done by the Frankfurter Zoological Society.
