DAY 3: EASTERN SERENGETI (Full Day Game Drive) – BACK TO CENTRAL SERENGETI
Serengeti Migration safari continue on the third day .After breakfast, enjoy a full day safari in the Eastern Serengeti. Wildebeest typically reside in the northeastern Serengeti and migrate further south in December. Gol Kopjes, located on the eastern plains, has the highest concentration of cheetahs in Africa during the rainy season. Most cheetahs in the Serengeti are migratory, as many of them follow the migration of the Thomson's gazelle to the eastern shortgrass plains during the wet season and then return to the central Serengeti (plain/forest boundary) during the wet season. During the rainy season, the eastern plains offer the best cheetah viewing in the Serengeti and in all of Africa. On a full day trip to the GOL Kopjes you are likely to encounter several groups of cheetahs. Cheetahs are strictly diurnal hunters, and if you're lucky, you'll see the world's fastest land animal in action when following the Great Serengeti Migration.
Besides cheetahs, the eastern plains are home to the highest concentrations of hyenas during the green season. Large hyena clans of up to 30 individuals are regularly seen from Naabi Hill east via Gol Kopjes and Lemuta Hill. Hyenas, the most common predator in the entire ecosystem, are semi-nomadic and “travel” from their dens in the central Serengeti to the eastern plains during the rainy season. Even in the rainy season of , lion numbers are high in the eastern plains. Most lions in the Serengeti are residents, but a significant number are nomadic (about 20%) and follow the Srengeti Wildebeest Migration migratory animals to the plains each rainy season. However, lions are rarely found east of Lemuta and are much easier to see in the Serengeti proper, including the Gol Kopjes area.
After having your lunch, you will continue with game viewing in Serengeti heading to Central Serengeti for overnight. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Camp or Lodge. All meals included.
