Activities to do

See the Great migration

Wildebeest migration is an annual event and includes movement of wild animals in large numbers.

Millions of animals shift from one place to another. The migration happens mainly due to climatic changes that force the Wildebeest, zebras and gazelles to travel from Serengeti to Kenya’s Maasai Mara. Best views of these animals occur usually in the morning.

These animals start with a move to Naabi hill in the south of Serengeti (during wet and rainy season), then head to Lobo valley and Bologonja in the northern region of the Park.

While in Serengeti, you are not only limited to views of Wildebeests, Impala and Zebras, but also African big fives are common.

Hot air balloon Safari

This excursion is one of the most exciting things to do in Serengeti. Offered in the Northern or central part of the Park, hot air balloon Safari takes place in the evening hours at dusk.

From the basket of the hot air balloon, views of the park with its abundant wild animals and rolling hills are breathtaking.

Visit the Grumeti River

This River is located in the central part of the Park and plays host to a large population of crocodiles and other aquatic species.

The place is also good for picnicking and as well a good view point for the great Wildebeest migration. During the migration period, crocodiles are usually waiting to feast on different animals which are in the migration.

Visit the Masai land

If Wildlife doesn’t appeal, Serengeti is also known for culture. Make sure to visit the Maasai land and have an insight into the rich culture of the Masai people. Locals are also available to give detailed information about the different wild animals in the Park.

Don’t miss to buy some local goods as souvenirs from different shops of Maasai women. Some of these goods like beads are sold at affordable prices.
