lake and the surrounding landscape are extremely scenic. Large fig and mahogany trees can be seen in the forest around the park gates and to the south are acacia woodlands.

The legendary Serengeti Plain is your destination today (210 km), a vast rolling plain whose sparse vegetation allows for some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. The annual migration of wildebeest and zebra is one of
the park’s great attractions, but throughout the year the Serengeti is excellent for seeing predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah, along with elephant, giraffe, hyena, hippo, rhino, and many varieties of antelopes and birds.
Depending on animal movement we can arrange packed lunch or return to the lodge for a hot lunch. The evening
is free to rest.

The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa, including more than three million large mammals. The park is one that can never disappoint.

black backed jackal, zebra, cheetah, leopard and the spotted hyena freely roam on the crater floor plains.
Unmatched for its natural variety and breath taking beauty, there are few places on earth where such a tremendous diversity of landscapes exist inside a region this size.
