Have dinner and stay overnight in a tent at Serengeti Seronera Campsite.

Day 2: Full Day at Serengeti After breakfast, you will go on wide-ranging morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park. Your guide will locate the flocks of migrant birds and the herds. Spot carnivores like big cats and hyenas. See the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra in action.

Use this unique setting at one of the few places in Africa to stand a good chance of seeing the Big Five in the course of a game drive.
