Apart from elephants, the park is also home to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds.

Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will make your way to Serengeti National Park for a full-day game drive (and picnic lunch). A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfil their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life here. Serengeti has really special sights, sounds, and smells of Africa with stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and entertaining wildlife. In this park, the animals don’t walk to any schedule so we may find lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, and many species of birds and reptiles during our game drive. Here you might spend your day in the central park area or your guide will know where to take you according to the season (migration of the animals).

The crater is also home to warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and many more.
