Depending on local conditions, today's drive will be about 5 hours.
Upon arrival at the Serengeti Park gate, the rest of the day will be a game drive towards Kati Kati Tented Camp. You'll stop at Naabi Hill to check in with park officials and be sure to take the 10 minute hike to the top of the hill for sweeping views of the surrounding Serengeti Plains.
Later in the afternoon, you will make your way back to the camp for dinner and overnight. On arrival you will be assisted with check in and shown your tent.
On Day 4 you'll explore this vast park and search for its abundant wildlife on morning and evening games drives. Enjoy quiet evenings by the camp fire and the exclusivity of absolute comfort combined with the authenticity of a night spent in the African bush, an extraordinary experience for all nature lovers.

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti together with Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park form Africa’s most famous wildlife park. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomizes Africa for many, and then add a Masai warrior and some cattle to the picture, and the conversation need go no further. The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. But that is not where the game viewing ends; large prides of lions, elephants and giraffes are found in the grasslands, along with gazelles and eland to mention but a few.
The vast, rolling savannah of the Northern Serengeti, is known as the hub of the great migration. The landscape is characterised by vast stretches of savannah interspersed with acacia trees and riverine woodlands. Wildlife can be seen along the banks of the Mara River and visitors can view the annual spectacle of the half a million migrating wildebeest. Commonly spotted wildlife include: a multitude of plains game such as buffalo, zebra, gazelles, impala, giraffe as well as lion and leopard.
The Central Serengeti is home to the highest concentration of resident game of any area in the park. This is an excellent region to visit year-round - the migration moves in from about April through June each year, but it is not dependent on the migration to provide stellar sightings, with great elephant, hippo, giraffe, lion and leopard. The area around Moru Kopjes provides the best potential to find the highly endangered black rhino. The major game viewing areas of Central, Southern and Western Serengeti are easily accessible, making it a great base from which to explore.
