When you are driving in the park, you might find the feeding of the elephants under fig trees, the giraffes exploring along the lake side, and the units of baboons crossing the road.

The following three days will be spent in the Serengeti National park which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the great migration and the incredibly high concentration of wildlife. This trip is initiated by a picturesque drive along the Ngorongoro highlands then onto your first game drive as you head into the vast plains of the Serengeti.
During these days you will trace the beat of the park with early and late drives. In the mornings, they move particularly, when such predators as lions, cheetahs, and leopards are on the move. The open plains feature huge herds of wildebeest and zebras and the kopjes (rocky outcrops) feature resting places of big cats. You may also see elephants, buffaloes and hyenas. It is a sight one cannot forget and during the migration season, thousands of animals moved across the plains.
