The legendary Seronera Valley awaits, one of the Serengeti’s most rewarding wildlife areas and a prime destination for year-round game viewing. Throughout the afternoon, keep watch for swift cheetahs scanning the open plains and elusive leopards resting among the riverine acacias, while your experienced guide reads the landscape in search of the Serengeti’s iconic wildlife.

At a scenic location in the heart of the wilderness, pause for a gourmet picnic lunch surrounded by sweeping savannahs and roaming herds. With no rush to the afternoon, continue exploring the valley as the changing light brings the landscape to life.

Awaken to the sounds of the Serengeti and set out for a full day of private game viewing across the vast Central Serengeti.

With the morning light still soft across the plains, follow winding river channels where hippos gather and search for lion prides beginning their day. Your guide will follow the wildlife and the conditions, taking you deeper into the Seronera Valley in search of the Serengeti’s remarkable diversity, from great herds on the open plains to predators in the surrounding woodland.

Around midday, pause at a carefully selected scenic location for a hot picnic lunch, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding savannah. After lunch, continue your game drive through the afternoon, when the changing light and cooler temperatures often bring renewed activity in the plains.

As the afternoon draws to a close, return to Moyo Tented Camp to relax and enjoy a beautifully prepared dinner before retiring to your comfortable tent for a peaceful night, ready for tomorrow.

Explore the crater floor in search of lion prides, large herds of wildebeest and zebra, elephants, hippos, and the elusive black rhinoceros. With the dramatic crater walls rising all around you, every game drive offers a remarkable perspective on this unique ecosystem.

Pause beside the hippo pool for a delicious picnic lunch before continuing your exploration of the crater floor. In the late afternoon, ascend the crater walls and begin the scenic journey toward the Lake Manyara Escarpment.
