Start the day with breakfast then transfer to Serengeti National Park driving through the beautiful high lying farmlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.  The Serengeti plains are at times referred to as endless because of the vastness of the park. Arriving at the park during lunchtime, you will proceed to the lodge or campsite with game drive en route. Dinner and overnight. 

Day 3: Serengeti National Park.

You will have breakfast then go for a full-day game drive at the Serengeti plains. The game drive takes you along the Sogore River circuit which twists into the plains south of the Seronera River. Since this is a water area, wildlife collects in this area to quench its thirst. Some of the wildlife animals to look out for here include lions, thompson gazelle, topi, and cheetahs. After the morning game drive, return to the lodge for lunch or have a picnic lunch. Later in the afternoon take a game drive.
