The Central Serengeti is a remarkable place known for its vast, endless plains decorated with acacia trees and the occasional rocky hills called kopjes. What makes the Central Serengeti so special is the wide-open spaces where you can drive for miles and miles, surrounded by countless animals stretching as far as your eyes can see and lush riverine forests. It's a fantastic opportunity to spot elusive leopards in the river valleys and witness large herds of wildebeest roaming around. The best part is that you can visit this area at any time of the year!

You'll enjoy a delicious lunch right inside the park and then continue for another game drive and sunset viewing over the Serengeti and then drive back to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
