This is one of the Earth’s last remaining natural migration corridors and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. The climate, flora, and fauna have remained mostly unchanged over the past million years. Also unchanged is the natural instinct that drives the annual Great Migration of over 2 million wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra – an instinct so powerful that neither drought nor crocodile-infested rivers can halt it.
Outside of the migration period, a host of wildlife remains to be seen. This is classic Big 5 country set in an epic landscape of vast proportions.

Serengeti National Park’s fame attracted countless movie personalities, celebrities, poets, artists, writers, storytellers, directors, and film crews over the years. The park’s endless plains span some 14,700km2, but their main claim to fame is the 3 million or so animals that make their home here.
Massive numbers of grazing animals and various predators can be seen – wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, lion, cheetah, leopard, buffalo, elephants, giraffe, impalas, topis, warthog, hyena, hippo, and ostrich – and the interaction between the many species often provides some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the world.
On day two of your 3 days Serengeti Safari Tanzania tour, you will start around sunrise for a morning game drive and follow that up later on with an afternoon game drive, as the animals tend to be more active in the cooler hours of the day. You will usually return to camp during the hotter hours in the middle of the day, where you will enjoy a hearty meal, relax and maybe take a siesta.
Depending on wildlife movements and opportunities for sightings, the drive may continue last all day with a bush picnic lunch. In this case, you will return to the camp in the late afternoon for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
