The Bush never sleeps. Something, somewhere, is always at work or at play, hunting or being hunted, browsing, mating or simply going about its business. However, the early morning game drive in Serengeti is a particularly good time for our open vehicles to bring you close to the wildlife, just when the action is at its most exciting. Few predators hunt in the heat, so the cool of a new morning is when we are most likely to witness the thrill of the chase.
