Settle into your accommodation, enjoy a welcome drink, and savor a delicious lunch while taking in the breathtaking views of the savannah. After some rest, embark on your first official game drive in the afternoon. This is your first opportunity to spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos—along with numerous other species like zebras, giraffes, and cheetahs. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for a warm campfire, dinner under the stars, and a peaceful night in the heart of the wild.
