Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by per-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and over numerous small villages.
We do an after breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The visitor’s centre not far from the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive.

Day 4

Serengeti Full Game Drive

Serengeti Full Game Drive

This entire day is set aside for game drives upon the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

Serengeti National Park
Accommodation:
Robin Safari Camp
  • Mid-range tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP

It is home to a high concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinoceroses), and is considered one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. The 610-meter-deep crater contains a diverse ecosystem with various habitats, a shallow alkaline lake called Lake Magadi, and is unique because the Maasai people are allowed to live and graze their livestock in the surrounding conservation area, though not within the crater itself.
