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. This nicely designed Centre, offers some

relaxed picnic lunch at the Centre in the shade of the giant acacia trees.
