The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 many gazelle join the wildebeest’s. The best month is December - March in the Southern Circuit in Ndutu Area.

  April and May in Western Corridor, June and July in Serengeti North. October and November in Lobo and Loliondo controlled Area. Yet even when the migration is quiet the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game drive in Africa. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill.

• Day 3

  Full Game drive in Serengeti National Park

  Very early morning game drive in the vast Serengeti plains. Breakfast at 0900am. Continues with both morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti national Park. Game drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. As enduring as the game-viewing is the liberating sense of space that characterizes the Serengeti Plains.

  Yet, after the rains, this golden expanse of grass is transformed into an endless green carpet flecked with wildflowers. And there are also wooded hills and towering termite mounds, rivers lined with fig trees and acacia woodland stained orange by dust. Popular the Serengeti might be, but it remains so vast that you may be the only human audience when a pride of lions masterminds a siege, focused unswerving on its next meal.
