A packed lunch will be provided, which you will enjoy under the shade of an acacia tree while soaking in the views. As the day winds down, you will drive to our lodge, arriving in time for a hearty dinner and a peaceful night’s rest. (This day can be swapped with Tarangire National Park for a full-day game drive.).

Our expert guide will lead you to prime wildlife-viewing spots, increasing your chances of encountering some of the Big Five and other fascinating wildlife. The eastern region surrounds you with endless plains, home to cheetahs, and offers perfect photography opportunities. You will enjoy a picnic lunch within the Serengeti, taking in the breathtaking scenery while keeping an eye out for wildlife.
