Day 4 -5: Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will depart to your new destination, Serengeti National Park. The remarkable spatial-temporal gradient in abiotic factors such as rainfall, temperature, topography and geology, soils, and drainage systems in Serengeti National Park manifests in a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The combination of volcanic soils combined with the ecological impact of the migration results in one of the most productive ecosystems on earth, sustaining the largest number of ungulates and the highest concentration of large predators in the world. The Park has the highest ostrich population in Tanzania and probably Africa, making the population globally important.
