The name Serengeti originates from the Masai word Siringitu and means endless plains. You will see why the Masai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the South and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes, These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats; you will have a good chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. This trip will take you to the most popular safari destination in the world on a short time and low budget. Although available all year round, the best season to visit Serengeti is during the Dry Season (from late June to October) that offers wildlife viewing in general - with the wildebeest migration as its absolute highlight.
