Pause for a hot lunch, with soup, bread rolls, a main course and fruit, followed by tea or coffee and a glass of wine. Continue game viewing before arriving at Olkarien Eco Safari Lodge for dinner and your first night in the Serengeti.

Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Spend the day exploring Central Serengeti with your private guide. Follow recent sightings through the plains and around the Seronera area, looking for lions, leopards, elephants and other resident wildlife. There is time to watch animal behaviour and ask the questions that make each sighting more meaningful. The route will respond to conditions on the day; the migration moves seasonally and is not always in this area. Return to Olkarien Eco Safari Lodge for dinner and another night in the bush.
