Serengeti National park is a local name that means "endless plains".

This park is the home of the Great Migration and over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

Stone Town, otherwise called MjiMkongwa (old town in Swahili), is the mythical fundamental town of Unguja Island - the primary island of the Zanzibar archipelago, and the island individuals typically allude to just as Zanzibar. The name Zanzibar will ordinarily invoke pictures of fine white sands, the sun reflecting off the shining Indian Ocean, completely clear waters, sweet-smelling spices, coconut palms, and a refreshing breeze. While this is all evident, in case you're wanting to visit Zanzibar, ensure you drag yourself away from the poolside for an evening, a day, or even a few evenings to investigate the wonders of Stone Town!.

NOTE:
# You should be aware that this is wild nature, so the guide cannot make any guarantees on the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will do his best to find everything you're looking for! The Zanki team has its radio channel that the drivers use to communicate with other guides and collaborate on searches for rare species.
#Take into consideration that to see certain animals you will have to start your day early in the morning, and it may be cold outside, so you should not forget to pack some warm clothes. For example, in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before and after sunset the temperature can fall to 0°C.
# Hotel check-out is at 10:00 AM. In case you need a late check-out because of an evening flight, you have the option to extend your hotel stay till 6:00 PM for an extra fee.
