DAY: 3

Full Day Game Drive in Serengeti

Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti plains (available by arrangement at a supplementary cost). Float silently above the awakening bush while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa across rivers and over numerous small villages.

Afterward, we have breakfast and a full-day game drive with a bush lunch inside the park. We will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai kopjes, which usually attract a number of lions and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink! Return for dinner and your overnight stay at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp.
