    Day 3-5: Serengeti National Park

    Three (3) days following wildebeest migration, will give the full glimpse of the Serengeti as you watch the events unfolding before your eyes. As the migration marches on, the plains that the wildebeest and zebra have left behind turn from green to brown while the rainclouds beckon ahead. The plains become a cacophony of sound with the Zebra making their familiar barking “kwa-ha-ha” calls and wildebeest snorting loudly. Younger wildebeest show off their paces while older bulls should rub their facial glands in the grass marking the border that other bulls should not cross. But cross they do and a ritualistic battle for turf and females ensues. These battles rarely result in injuries, the fighting is seldom serious and any pretext is used to break off a confrontation. Day 5: Late afternoon you head to Ngorongoro Crater rim for dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite.
