You may admire far-reaching panoramas of the prolific plains, stretching spectacles of the dramatic mountains, and spreading scenes of the golden savannas.

You spend the full day on a game drive, crossing great swathes of the Serengeti and reveling in its unadulterated scale. It’s perhaps possible to picture a hundred zebra. Maybe even a thousand. But tens of thousands? Even after witnessing this phenomenon, it seems unfathomable. Take a picnic lunch with you and stop regularly along the way, including many pools inhabited by hippos. Wait for the hippos to yawn for an iconic photo, and then continue across the grasslands to find giant elephant bulls on their nomadic journeys. Drive amongst the wildebeest then watch a herd of Thompson’s gazelle scatters as they skip towards the burning African sun
