After arriving in the Serengeti, the game drive will begin in the early afternoon.
The scenery and landscape of Serengeti are decorated with a very interesting landscape with the wildest animals in Tanzania. The natural vegetation in the reserve is Savanna, grasslands, and acacia trees. Also, its landscape is characterized by rocky outcrops (Kopjes) and seasonal rivers. This landscape makes the Serengeti Reserve more friendly to the environment and wild animals prefer to live there making its ecosystem unique in Africa and the world in general.
The attractions found in Serengeti include the great wildebeest migration, Serenora Valley, and Grumeti River. Here is also a large habitat for lions, cheetahs, elephants, gazelles, buffaloes, zebras, crocodiles, hyenas, and hippos.
The top activities to make the 3-day Tanzania camping safari the best include balloon safari, walking safari, and cultural tour. So, the game drive will continue until the evening when the tour guide takes you to the camp to have dinner, review your day's experience, and rest to prepare for the next tour.
Day 2: The full-day game drive in Serengeti (Overnight in Ngorongoro)
On the second day, while you are in the Serengeti, after having breakfast, you will make a game drive from Central Serengeti to the Ndutu region. Ndutu region is in the south of the Serengeti Plain, which is a famous area for wildebeest migration during the calving season (January to March). Also, it is an area that has a lot of wild animals and is a good place to witness cheetahs or lions in their prey.
In the afternoon, you will find a picnic lunch in a very beautiful and isolated area in the park with a very attractive landscape. So, after lunch, the game drive will continue until the evening when you head to Ngorongoro to have dinner and rest at the campsite to prepare for the last day's tour.
