Game Drive - Serengeti National Park

Today’s adventure takes you on a full-day game drive through the Southern and Central Serengeti, including the renowned Seronera Valley. The Maasai named this region “Serengeti,” meaning “the land of endless plains,” and it truly lives up to its name. The vast southern plains, covered in sweeping savannah grasslands, provide year-round grazing grounds for wildlife such as wildebeests, zebras, Coke’s hartebeests, waterbucks, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, and impalas.

In the Seronera Valley, scattered acacia trees and rocky outcrops known as kopjes create unique habitats. These formations serve as prime lookout points for predators while also offering shelter for hyrax, pythons, lizards, and other reptiles. The area is particularly famous for its leopard sightings, making it one of the best places to encounter this elusive big cat.

When is the best time to travel?

The best time to visit is generally considered to be during the dry season, when weather conditions are more pleasant and travel is less likely to be disrupted, typically based on your preferred destinations. During this period, landscapes are at their most vibrant, wildlife sightings are more frequent, and activities can be enjoyed with greater ease. While visits are possible year-round, choosing this window is often recommended to ensure the most rewarding and comfortable experience.
