After arriving in the Serengeti, you'll have a picnic for lunch before going on an amazing game drive. When you visit this region of the Serengeti between May and July, you can witness a significant shift - the great migration of wildebeests crossing the Grumeti River. The herds have to dodge the swift-moving water and crocodiles before coming up against the predators that are waiting on the other side. A magnificent show. You will spend the night in the Central Serengeti tented camp.

Observing the annual migration of hoofed mammals in a clockwise circle, trailed by predators, is an amazing experience. The Serengeti is the best place to go if you want to see all five of the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo) in one park. You'll go back to the camp, where you will spend the night and dinner. The camp boasts amazing views of the Serengeti.

On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalos, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.
