Today, your safari adventure continues as you enter the breathtaking landscape of the Serengeti National Park.

Together with your private guide, you will search for these herds across the plains, while also spotting lions, cheetahs, leopards, and many other animals. If you're interested in viewing wildlife from a unique perspective, we highly recommend the balloon safari, where you can silently float above the plains, surrounded by herds of wildlife.
