Day 3: Serengeti National Park

Depending on the time of year, you might even have a chance to witness the Great Migration with hundred thousands of wildebeests, zebras and Thomson gazelles on their annual trek in search for water and green pastures.

During the small rainy season in October and November, you will see these herds moving from Kenya’s Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south. After the great rainy season in April, May and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western part of the Serengeti. With the fluctuating rainfall, this timetable can of course change, resulting in the animals migrating during different times and routes. Your guide will try his outmost to find the animals and will make sure that you can see them from the best spot in the national park. Naturally, the Great Migration also attracts predators such as lions, leopards, African wild dogs among others and with luck you might see a kill in action.
