Our professional guide will pick a good time to have lunch and some wine amidst the scenery.
Serengeti National Park is known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five," which are so named because they are the five most prized animal trophies sought after by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa (roughly 3,000) due to the abundance of prey that lives here.
The African leopard, a reclusive predator, is commonly seen in the Seronera region but is present throughout the park. Its population is estimated to be about 1,000.
After the game drive, you will head to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay.
