Day 5: Ndutu to Central Serengeti National Park
The anticipation for today will be great as you make your way into the world’s most famous wildlife park, the Serengeti. In the native African language, Serengeti means “endless plains,” and witnessing the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see before blending with the sky at the horizon is an incredibly magnificent sight. With a total land size of 15,000 square kilometers, it puts conventional notions of distance to rest. The Serengeti is home to Africa’s largest surviving concentration of plains animals. You should also keep an eye out for the Serengeti’s “kopjes”, which are enormous granite rocks towering in a sea of grass. They provide abundant habitat for a wide range of plants and wildlife. During the day’s game drive, a picnic lunch will be served. The exciting day concludes with a wonderful meal and a restful night’s sleep at Matawi Luxury Tented Camp.

It’s really one of the most beautiful experiences. After the game drive, we will head back to Arusha, passing through the Ngorongoro area.
