Depart for the afternoon game drive; an exhilarating and unforgettable experience, offering the chance to witness the incredible diversity of wildlife in one of Africa’s most renowned safari destinations. This park is home to a thriving population of the “Big Five” – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceros. Game drives provide excellent opportunities to spot these iconic and majestic animals in their natural habitat. The Park is known for its healthy populations of cheetahs and leopards. Skilled guides often know where to find these elusive big cats, and you might witness them hunting or resting in the shade.

Today you have an opportunity to experience a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti offering a unique and tranquil way to appreciate the vastness and beauty of this remarkable ecosystem thus providing a memorable addition to your safari experience. Hot air balloons move gently with the wind, creating a serene and almost silent atmosphere. This allows you to absorb the beauty of the Serengeti in a peaceful and unobtrusive way. After an enchanting journey, the balloon descends for a gentle landing. Once safely on the ground, you are treated to a celebration with a traditional champagne toast and a bush breakfast served in the midst of the Serengeti wilderness.
