Upon arrival, you begin your game drive, where you'll have the opportunity to encounter elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and giraffes as they gather around the Tarangire River – the lifeline of the park. The river’s seasonal water supply draws many animals, especially during the dry season, providing ample opportunities for wildlife sightings.

The drive to Serengeti takes you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you'll enjoy scenic views of the Ngorongoro Crater rim before descending into the plains of the Serengeti. The Serengeti offers the opportunity to witness the Great Migration (seasonal), where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of greener pastures. Upon arrival, you embark on an afternoon game drive, where you will likely encounter lions, cheetahs, leopards, and various antelope species. Serengeti is home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino), and the open plains make it ideal for sightings of predators and prey.
