DAY 3 - 4: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

The itinerary includes two days of game drives in Serengeti, with the areas visited determined by the location of migrating herds.

From July to October, they are found in North Serengeti. Your guide will assist in locating the animals, which include wildebeests, zebras, and predators like lions and leopards.
