amazing African wildlife wandering endless, treeless plains. Kopjes, which appear like islands in the sea
of grass, and Acacia lined rivers, complete the picture.

Day 5: SERENGETI
Game Drive at the Western Corridor, depending where the migration of the Wildebeest and Zebra’s
takes place at that very moment. The pinnacle of the Serengeti immortality is the wildebeest migration.
It is beyond description when the Serengeti plains witness flying hooves and dust as hundreds of
thousands of gnus and zebra, race against the skyline in their annual migration that covers over 800
km. It all starts suddenly in late May or early June, depending on weather, when wildebeest move away
from the short grass plains between the Ngorongoro highlands and Seronera and spread to the
southern plains. This spectacle can be viewed from the ground, but it is an awesome sight from the sky
in a hot air balloon.
