Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will start descending into the plains. Today is one big game drive, wherever you drive, you can encounter animals. When passing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area you will get a fantastic chance to have a look at how the Maasai live, when passing their “boma’s” (villages) or when watching them herd their cattle in the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word Siringiti: endless plains. When entering the Serengeti, it becomes clear quite soon that this is a very fitting name. As far as the eye reaches you find the plains, only interrupted by an occasional tree, kopje (rock formation) or wildlife. During the Great Migration these plains are literally covered in animals, wildebeests and zebras, in search of grazing and water and participating in one of the largest annual movements of mammals on earth. At the end of the afternoon, you will go to Shuhudia Adventure Camp for dinner and overnight.
