Wildlife Safari

Imagine being one of the lucky few to soar above the Serengeti Plains in a hot air balloon! This unforgettable experience, available at a supplementary cost and with pre-arrangement, lets you float silently over the awakening bush. Spot wildlife from above and marvel at the breathtaking African scenery as you drift across rivers and over charming villages.

After a delightful breakfast, we embark on a full day game-viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. This area is a hotspot for spotting lions, Thomson gazelles, topis, ostriches, and cheetahs. Following our morning adventure, we visit the Visitor Centre near the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites. This well-designed centre offers fascinating wildlife displays, a gift shop with information leaflets and maps, a store for cold drinks and snacks, and a picnic area with an informative trail winding around a nearby kopje. We’ll enjoy a leisurely picnic lunch under the shade of giant acacia trees, soaking in the serene environment.

In the afternoon, we follow the Kopjes Circuit, which winds around the Maasai Kopjes in an anti-clockwise direction. These weathered granite outcrops are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and pools of water that attract wildlife, especially during the dry seasons. The kopjes are excellent spots for spotting lions and large cobras, who often lie in wait for animals coming to drink.

As the day draws to a close, we return to the Seronera area for a delicious dinner and a restful overnight stay. Enjoy the comfort of your accommodation, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of the Serengeti wilderness.
