Day 2: Ngorongoro - serengeti National Park

Early morning breakfast in your lodge at Ngorongoro and then drive immediately to the Great Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch.

Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.

Therefore as you leave the Ngorongoro you will continue with game drives en-route. Before reaching Seronera (an area located in the heart of Serengeti), you will continue to explore the vast rich-game animal plains of Serengeti National Park.

During the afternoon stop over for picnic lunch shortly before you continue with game drive. In the evening leave the Park and proceed to Seronera for dinner and overnight stay in one of the lodges or campsite.
