Serengeti National Park

Day 3Serengeti National Park Serengeti National Park After breakfast, go on a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti with a picnic lunch. In the late afternoon, drive back to the camp for dinner and overnight. Tanzania's oldest and most famous national park is also a World Heritage Site and recently proclaimed a 7th Wonder of the World. The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration when some 6 million hooves pound the open plains, and more than 200,000 zebra 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.
