   Later you will drive to Seronera Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

3. Day 3: Full Day Game Drives in Serengeti National Park

   • This will be followed by a full-day Serengeti National Park tour, so you can spot the animals that reside here.

   • Serengeti, the name, comes from Maasai Language and means 'endless plain'. The plains are home to many animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, leopards, cheetahs, warthogs, hyenas and huge birdlife.

   • The migration of wildebeests and zebras may be underway during specific times, and this wonder can also be observed.
