Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
On this day, you will have a full day of game drives in the park. You and your guide will decide the game drive pattern of your preference among three practical options. You may decide to leave for an early morning game drive then come back for late breakfast, then leave for another game drive with a picnic lunch coming back for dinner. The second option is to leave after breakfast, come back for hot lunch then leave for an evening game drive coming back to the camp for dinner. The other option is to leave after breakfast with a picnic lunch and then come back in the late evening (the last option will give you an opportunity to explore scenes that are far from your accommodation for example the migrating herds because you will not have time limit). There will be no shortage of animal sightings as the presence of permanent mud pools and shades attract giraffes, impalas, warthogs, and hippos. You might also catch a glimpse of cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals.
