Two full days of game viewing in the Serengeti.
You can enjoy morning, evening or full day game drives from this camp.
If you start first thing in the morning, you will find the Serengeti at its most active. This is when Africa can reveal its cool side, so you should wrap up warm (we aim to be on the road before the sun rises at around 6.00 am). Our open vehicles bring you as close as possible to the wildlife, just when the action is likely to be most exciting. Few predators hunt during the heat of the day, so the early morning is the best time to observe the thrill of the chase. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape, the birds awakening and the sense of a great adventure beginning to unfurl. And just when your stomach starts to complain, we’ll give you a late breakfast in the bush, before further viewing leads you back at about 11.00 am, in good time for lunch at camp.
Heading into the bush for an evening game drive has a level of excitement and character all its own, as predators begin their nightly search for prey. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill. At a suitable vantage point, your guide will pause, allowing you to enjoy a sundowner in blissful comfort.
Fully Inclusive of all meals, selected house beverages and shared safari activities
Game viewing in the Serengeti.
Bush walks are also offered. One of the many advantages of being located in the heart of the Serengeti is being able to run game walks directly from the camp. If you like the idea of taking a walk on the wild side, your game walk will be supervised by a qualified armed Tanapa (Tanzania National Parks) ranger, whose expertise means you can safely approach herds of impala, zebra and giraffe.
Your ranger and local Kuria tribesman comes along to spot and interpret the animals tracks left from the night before and identify the flora and fauna, explaining for example which are used for medicinal purposes by his tribe. All you need is a pair of good walking shoes and a sense of adventure!

Game drives descend into the Ngorongoro Crater through a lush highland forest, with magnificent birdlife to be spotted among the different tree species.

Off-road driving is not permitted.
