Later in the evening have an afternoon game drive.  The park’s dominant feature is the Tarangire River. Although it gets very dry, the park is relatively thickly vegetated with acacia shrubs and mixed woodland.

Most memorable of which are the huge baobab trees dotted around in big numbers. Herds of up to 300 elephants can be found, looking for underground streams, in the dry riverbeds while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. Dry-country antelope such as fringe-eared Oryx and the long-necked gerenuk are also regularly spotted.

Abandoned termite –mounds often house mongoose colonies. All the main predators are present but, because of thick vegetation, not spotted as often as in some of the other parks in northern Tanzania.

With walls 2,000 ft. high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah’s Ark, inhabited by various wildlife species indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino.

In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. They are the most incredible elephants you’ll ever see in your life.

The Serengeti is not only famous for wildebeest migration and herbivores but also for its high concentration of big cats and other predators that these grazers attract.

Day 6: Full day Serengeti National Park exploration

After your early morning breakfast, you will leave your lodge with packed lunch for a game drive in the Serengeti National Park.

Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometres of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara National Park. The annual clockwise migration of wildebeest across the two national parks has so far contributed to its popularity.

Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back. The Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas and through a variety of habitat.

Apart from wildlife species, a game drive through Serengeti presents you with rewarding scenic views of the park and its surrounding.
