Serengeti National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Serengeti is famed for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson's gazelles journey from Serengeti to Kenya's Maasai Mara. You'll witness this awe-inspiring event as animals cross rivers teeming with Nile crocodiles, offering unforgettable moments of nature's raw beauty. This season also draws predators to the north, creating unparalleled wildlife encounters.

You'll explore the stunning landscapes along the Mara River, where you’ll have the chance to see wildebeests crossing the river and battling the dangers of Nile crocodiles. The park is also home to abundant wildlife, allowing you to observe a diverse range of animals throughout the day.
You'll wake up to the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoy breakfast at the camp. Today, you’ll head to Central Serengeti for a full-day game drive. This region is famous for its abundant wildlife, especially the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos.

The crater floor is home to a variety of wildlife, including the rare black rhino, flamingos, and hippos, especially around Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater.
In the evening, you’ll drive back to the lodge for a relaxing dinner and overnight stay. Take some time to unwind and enjoy the lodge's amenities, including the swimming pool, before preparing for the next day’s adventures.
