After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will know why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains".
The park has 18,000sq km (6,900sq mi), and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the venue of the Great Migration and home to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it is the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings being filmed in this park.
