Serengeti

Serengeti

Full day spent in the park game viewing. It is possible to do a full day with picnic lunches or to split the game viewing into 2. With one game drive in the morning, hot lunch at the camp then another long game drive in the afternoon.
The Serengeti is vast and beautiful; it's one of Africa's most captivating safari areas. The sheer amount of game here is amazing: estimates suggest up to about two million wildebeest, plus perhaps half a million zebra, hundreds of thousands of Thompson's gazelle, and tens of thousands of impala, Grant's gazelle, topi (tsessebe), hartebeest, eland and other antelope – all hunted by the predators for which these plains are famous.
