OPTIONAL: Adding an additional day and night in the fabulous Serengeti National Park is highly recommended. With the Serengeti being the size of Vermont (5600 sq. mi.) there is plenty of park left to explore. The additional day also creates flexibility in how the game drives will play out during the other days in the Serengeti.
