Serengeti National Park
On this two days we head out and start to explore at sunrise - we will have a full day game drive exploring the beautiful scenery of Serengeti, searching for the big five. We will then serve lunch at camp and then head out for an afternoon drive.
There is more to Serengeti than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite kopjes. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have 500-plus bird species, ranging from the oversized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills. We will continue to search for Serengeti wildlife and return to camp at sunset for dinner and overnight.
