A 6 Days Serengeti National Park and Bwindi gorilla safari to see gorillas is one of the best ways to see wildlife and primates in East Africa. Both of these national parks are the most popular and well-known in East Africa. Serengeti National Park is in Tanzania. It is best known for the wildlife migration along the Mara River, which splits it from Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. Serengeti national park is the best national park in East Africa. It has a wide range of animals, including the big five: elephants, Cape buffaloes, leopards, lions, and rhinos. Wildebeests, Zebras, Thompson gazelles, giraffes, and Elands are some of the other animals.
