The name “Serengeti” comes from the Masai word “Siringitu,” meaning “endless plains.” You’ll see why, as the savannah stretches to the horizon, giving a sense of infinity. Upon arrival and after lunch, we embark on an afternoon game drive until sunset, spotting wildlife such as leopards, rhinos, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, lions, giraffes, elephants, and hippos. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a five-hour drive time to reach Serengeti.
