You will have a picnic lunch on this day, which will be packed for you at the Olmoran Tented Camp, Serengeti, located in northern Tanzania and extending to south-western Kenya; it spans some 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world, which is one of the top natural travel wonders of the world. Serengeti is derived from the Maasai language, Maa; specifically, "Serengit" meaning "Endless Plains". Approximately 70 larger mammals and some 500 avifauna species are found there. This high diversity in terms of species is a function of diverse habitats ranging from riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands. Wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalo are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region. After your game drive, check in at camp.
