While on a safari in one of the most famous and most visited national parks in Tanzania, you are presented with a couple of tourist activities to take part in.
What to do in Serengeti National Park
1. Game Drives in Serengeti
The most popular activity done on any African safari. Get into your tour vehicle and set out into the park for a game viewing adventure. You can drive to the different sectors of Serengeti National Park for a chance to see the animals and birds that call the vast grasslands home. Be sure to spot the Big 5 animals, wildebeests, giraffes, gazelles, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas and hundreds of different bird species as you take in the beautiful and serene landscapes of the Serengeti.
2. Guided Nature Walks
Naabi Hill’s walking trail can be your first walking adventure of the safari grounds of Serengeti if you happen to enter the park from this entrance. This hill has amazing views of the park.
Guided nature walks are also possible in the Grumeti Game Reserve in the Western region of the Serengeti. A great chance for birders to spot some of the birds in the Serengeti, the woodlands and the Kopjes.
3. Bird Watching
Hundreds of different bird species (more than 500) call the grasslands, woodlands and Savannah of Serengeti their home. Their presence in the park offers great bird watching adventures, a delight to the bird life lovers. Look out for ostriches, bustards, the African fish eagle, shrikes, turacos, sunbirds, weaver birds, secretary bird and different species of vultures.
3. Hot Air Balloon Safari
Take flight in the hot air balloon over the vast Serengeti National Park. With a bird’s eye view, you get a chance to see everything you would literally miss out while on ground. Take to the skies for a chance to see the Great Migration from up above, see rows and rows of wildlife on the move, some prey-predator action while enjoying the sight of the different scenic landscapes of the Serengeti.
The Hot air balloon ride alone is a great adventure that you should put on your list of activities to do while on a safari in Serengeti National Park.
4. Visit to the Maasai Village
The Serengeti is not only home to wildlife but also to the Masai people of Tanzania. A visit to one of the Masai villages will give you a chance to get to know the ways of the Masai people. They have maintained their values, norms and culture in this ever changing world. Take part in their traditional dance. See how high you can jump.
Charge your batteries, pack your camera and binoculars already, the wilderness awaits.
