DAY 5: Central Serengeti

Start your day after an early breakfast to explore the wilderness with good morning light. Central Serengeti is beautiful; the rock outcrops make fascinating scenery over the open plains. However, they also provide potential hiding places for cats and their newborn cubs. There are six vegetation zones in the Serengeti ecosystem—open plains, rocky outcrops, riverine habitat, swampy areas, open woodland, and dense woodland—which support a variety of wildlife species. The Great Migration likes concentrating on the open plains during the rainy seasons, and the riverine habitat of the Mara River at Kogatende when other parts of the park are dry in the dry season from July – October. The great migration is made up of wildebeest, zebra, and antelopes like gazelles, elands, and topi. These wildlife creatures adopted the habit of migrating due to searching for favorable conditions of water and pasture. After lunch at the camp, take a little rest until the sun cools down, then head out again for a late afternoon game drive. Most visitors like the colors of the sunset in Africa and appreciate the opportunity to take wildlife pictures with the evening light, and sunset with the fascinating landscapes of the Serengeti Park.

Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)
