And in to this plane came thousands of years ago and even much more than that, the wildebeest (Gnu) in millions of them along with the Zebra, which makes the Serengeti so famous, “The Big Migration”. Along the year this migration is migrating from south to north and back following the fresh green grass that the Gnu likes so much, and make it moving and moving grazing and moving. Below you can see the Migration maps and following the season Sima Safari will take you the area where the Migration is there.
Around 18:00 arriving to your special camps in the Serengeti plains
Our recommendation in the Serengeti is to use the luxury tented camps as your favor accommodation lodges rather then the structural lodges.
Reasons:
• More wild and living in the bush,
• Adventure
• Rooms are in high standard only design to be in a big tent structure than a regular room ( see picture below)
• Less costly
Nevertheless we are providing other lodges structure with cement
Overnight at Baobab Lodge
The central Serengeti has many herds of antelopes which make the central Serengeti is a very convenient area for the big cats and other predators. Along the Seronera River will be our game drive today, the Seronera River is the heart of the central of Serengeti and what make it so rich with Animals and Big cats. Today is the game drive on the search for the big cats, good luck. With the help of Sima Safari amazing tour guide we are sure this day will not be a disappointed, it’s guaranteed.

The Ngorongoro plains are very fertile from the volcanic eruption of the Ngorongoro crater and are best place for grazing their cattle, which is the Maasai major asset.
