Being surrounded by immense herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles is a truly unforgettable experience. During the annual migration, these animals traverse the plains and cross crocodile-filled rivers, closely followed by ever-present predators.

After enjoying a picnic lunch on the open plains, continue your afternoon game drive, discovering more of the Serengeti’s rich wildlife. As the sun sets over the savannah, return to camp to relax and unwind beside the warmth of a crackling bushfire.

This unique ecosystem offers excellent opportunities to spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard—alongside many other species.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact and unbroken caldera, with walls rising about 610 meters above the floor. Thanks to year-round grass and water, wildlife viewing is exceptional in all seasons. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the famous hippo pool before continuing your game drive.
