As you explore the open plains and winding tracks, keep watch for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and other wildlife moving through the landscape.

Depending on your flight schedule, lunch will be enjoyed upon arrival before continuing with your afternoon safari. As the day draws to a close and the Serengeti takes on its beautiful golden glow, continue to Kubukubu Tented Lodge for a relaxing evening, a beautifully prepared dinner and your first night in the heart of the wilderness.
