The day starts early in the morning with a game drive in the “endless plains” the Maasai name for Serengeti. Our dreams of watching lions hunt wildebeests and gazelles may become a reality. We can opt for a full day game drive with packed lunch or return to the camp for lunch. Both options give us a good opportunity to explore the Park on which Grzimek based his famous documentary on “The Serengeti Shall Not Die”. Dinner and the overnight stay will be at Camp.

Other wildlife here includes serval cat, cheetah, jackal, Grant's and Thompson's gazelle, flamingo and bat-eared foxes.
