Around noon we reach the Serengeti National Park, which is the oldest and largest national park in Tanzania and covers an area of ​​14.763 square kilometers. The name Serengeti comes from “Siringet”, a Maasai word that means “endless expanses. The park is known worldwide for its abundance of wildlife and its high biodiversity. There you have the opportunity to see all BIG FIVE. Depending on the season, you will witness the migration of thousands of animals for which this park is famous. In November and December the herds migrate from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. From April to June you will return to the north. This is their circle of life and it depends on the annual rainfall and the locations of the herds can vary from year to year. That is why we give you professional guides who know where to find the animals so that you can enjoy the safari. We will spend the night in the center of the Serengeti at the Pimbi public campsite. Lunch and dinner are eaten there.
