The two days starts early in the morning with game drives in the “endless plains” the Maasai name for Serengeti.

Both options give us a good opportunity to explore the Park, on which Grzimek’s famous documentary “The Serengeti Shall Not Die” is based on. We’ll spend the overnight at Acacia Central Camp.
