You'll kickstart your day on an early morning adventure following a hearty breakfast. You'll be setting out for the renowned Serengeti National Park. The drive itself, though lengthy, unfolds as a spectacular journey, etching an unforgettable moment for those witnessing its beauty for the first time.

The Serengeti is also the realm of choice for majestic big cats and formidable predators—keep a keen eye out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
