Leaving
your lodge early this morning, you have a full day
of game viewing in this area. At dawn, all the animals
are moving, making this the most exciting time to
view wildlife. Watch for elephant, zebra and wildebeest
along the saltpan trails. Swamps and springs form
permanent watering places for the wildlife in times
of drought. The middle of the day is at leisure to
relax before setting off in the late afternoon for
a game drive. This is an ideal time of day to see
predators as they begin to stir from the shade and
roam onto the plains in search of prey.

haven for animals, and you may see lion, elephant,
hyena, wildebeest and gazelle. Even the rare and elusive

the gorge and enjoy a privately guided visit of this
renowned archaeological site. From here, continue
your drive into the arid and spectacular country of
Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti –
deep in the heart of the largest and
most diverse migration corridor in the world. Wild
beasts, creatures of every size and description, flood
the savannah in droves…herds of mammoth elephant,
the stately giraffe and the lumbering rhino all mix
together alongside the more diminutive inhabitants…the
delicate antelope, bulky wildebeest and the comical
warthog. And we hope to see it all!
