Wave goodbye to smooth roads as you transition to rugged terrain on your way to Serengeti National Park. Along the journey, meet Masai warriors, some adorned with black face paint, signifying their recent rite of passage into warriorhood. Dust swirls around the car as you traverse this iconic landscape, home to Africa’s “Big Five” – lion, leopard, rhino, wildebeest, and elephant. Marvel at the ecosystem balanced by the Serengeti’s 5 million wildebeest, part of the Great Migration. Stay two nights inside the park for an unforgettable experience.
