We will stop for a picnic lunch before we check in at the park for an afternoon game drive. After catching the sunset, we will proceed to the Seronera Campsite for dinner and overnight.

More than 500 bird species were recorded here, ranging from the oversized ostriches and bizarre secretary birds of the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the savannah. We will continue to search for the Serengeti’s wildlife and return to camp at sunset for dinner and overnight.
