Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Before sunrise around 06:00 am, we leave the tented camp for an early morning game drive. This is generally the best time to spot the wildlife, as the temperature is cool and the animals are still very active, including the big cats returning from a night of hunting.
On this particular day, for instance, you have various options. You may choose to embark on a morning game drive, return to the camp for a leisurely lunch and some relaxation, and then continue with an afternoon game drive. Alternatively, you have the opportunity to partake in a full-day game drive, complete with a delightful picnic lunch. The choice is yours, and we are dedicated to tailoring the day to meet your expectations and preferences. Late evening you will then go for another game drive and sunset viewing over the Serengeti. Overnight stay and dinner at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp.
