Safari Begins – Into the Wild Serengeti
Safari Begins – Into the Wild Serengeti
Your adventure begins with a special treat: enjoy a complimentary early morning hot-air balloon ride followed by a bush breakfast, before driving toward the iconic Serengeti National Park, famed for its vast open plains and incredible wildlife. Depending on the season, you may witness the breathtaking Great Migration of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles as they search for fresh grazing.
During the short rains (October–November), the herds move from Kenya’s Masai Mara into the southern Serengeti, creating unforgettable wildlife spectacles.
After the long rains (April–June), they return north through the western corridor. Your expert Bavuma guide will track the movements to ensure the best game viewing possible. Along the way, you might spot lions stalking prey, elephants under acacia trees, or even a dramatic predator hunt.
By sunset, you’ll arrive at Serengeti Explorer by Elewana where you’ll enjoy a hearty dinner and settle into your High-end tented lodge under the stars.
