In this game drive, you will enjoy the wild area called “Seronera region”, which is known as the “big cat center” of Africa.

One of the most important aspects of this safari is the Serengeti, so we’ll immerse ourselves in it all day. Your guide can track wildlife and search the changing habitats on the central plains, so there will be no time wasted on long stretches of driving. An early morning game drive will allow you the best chance of witnessing the movement of predators. Look for the hippo in the Seronera River valley, scan the granite kopjes for lion, and thousands of resident wildebeest and zebra graze for food. To make the most out of your safari day, you’ll carry a picnic lunch to make sure there are no interruptions. A safari is all about the adventure, so you can make as many stops as you need to have the best experience possible.
