Keep watch for giraffes moving between the trees, zebras and wildebeest crossing the plains and lions resting in the shade. Take time to stop for photographs and simply watch the animals behaving naturally.

Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the wilderness, then continue exploring through the afternoon when the changing light gives the Serengeti a completely different character.
