DAY 5 & 6: SERENGETI
Spend these days game driving and exploring every inch of this magnificent park renowned as one of the largest and most spectacular game areas in East Africa, covering an area of 14,765 square kilometers, teaming with game. 

A particular feature of the Serengeti is the annual migration of the wildebeest and zebra herds each year, after the traditional "short" rains in November the migration starts when the herds amass in their thousands on the plains below the Ngorongoro highlands.

During February they move north and west following the rains and the new grasslands, and they start to move into the Masai Mara in July. In October they move back to Tanzania .This annual phenomenon involves more than 1.5 million animals, including the lion and other predators that follow the herds for easy prey.

The whole process affects the lives of thousands of other species who rely on the passage of the migration for their survival, including the insects, not to mention the trees and plants which rely on the droppings for their fertilization, a magnificent food chain. Dinner and overnight at a lodge. Meal plan: Full board.
