Day 5 Full Day game Drive in Serengeti NP
The entirety of today is set aside for game driving in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, including impalas, buffalo, crocodiles, and hippos, but is best known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions, always lurking close by.

You'll embark on another thrilling game drive in Serengeti National Park before proceeding to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest caldera, is a designated World Heritage Site. Its impressive 600-meter-high cliffs sharply descend to an open expanse spanning approximately 246 square kilometers.
