Next, we enter the legendary Serengeti, one of Africa’s most famous wildlife parks and a vast wilderness that symbolizes Tanzania’s pristine nature. This immense nature reserve is home to an enormous diversity of wild animals, ranging from small herbivores to impressive predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Day 7
After a new sunrise in the Serengeti, we continue our safari towards the eastern part of the park. This area is known as one of the best places to spot wild cats. As a result, there is a good chance you will encounter various species here in a single day, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, servals, and caracals. In some cases, up to 25 wild cats are sighted here in a single day. We obtain a special permit to drive here, which means you will not encounter many other vehicles.
In addition, a large part of the Big Five feels perfectly at home in this wilderness. For instance, both the buffalo and the elephant have thrived in this area over the past fifty years. As a result, this safari once again offers ample opportunities for impressive encounters with Africa’s iconic animals.
