Day 3

The Serengeti Unfiltered A Full Game drive in the Wild

The Serengeti Unfiltered A Full Game drive in the Wild

Today belongs entirely to the Serengeti. Rise early for your first game drive when the wilderness is at its most active, then continue exploring the plains, kopjes and riverine areas around Seronera. With a private vehicle, your guide can adapt the day around wildlife movements rather than following a fixed group itinerary. Search for big cats, elephants and herds of plains game while enjoying a picnic lunch in the wilderness. Continue into the afternoon, finishing with the possibility of a spectacular golden-hour wildlife encounter.
