Around midday, stop at a designated picnic site to enjoy a freshly prepared hot lunch while surrounded by nature.

Following breakfast, continue your journey toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park.

After arriving, enjoy a hot picnic lunch before setting out on an afternoon game drive. The Serengeti is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, and countless plains game. If conditions are favorable, you may even spot all members of the famous Big Five during your exploration.

After an early breakfast, descend over 600 meters into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive.
