Full-Day Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Wake up early and start your day with a hearty breakfast before heading out for a full-day game drive across the endless plains of the Serengeti, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations.

The Serengeti is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, jackals, and thousands of herbivores like wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. Depending on the time of year, you may even witness part of the Great Migration, where massive herds move in search of fresh grazing.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The game drive continues throughout the afternoon, giving you more chances to spot the Big Five and other rare species.

Return to your camp in the evening for dinner and overnight stay under the starlit Serengeti sky.
