A full day in the Bush

A full day spent out on safari is the best way to see the range of what the magnificent Serengeti national park has to offer. It’s good to start on a full stomach, so after breakfast in your tent or the restaurant (you choose), we set off at around 7 am, with your fully equipped 4×4 Landcruiser criss-crossing the plains in search of game. Armed with hat and sunscreen (it gets very hot at midday) you are ready for adventure …

A highlight is always the moment we head for the water. One of nature’s great occasions is the spate of annual river crossings by migrating wildebeest, with many in easy reach of Serengeti Bushtops between July and October. If the migration coincides with your visit, you’re likely to witness this stupendous natural event, but magnificent though it is, the drama of a river crossing is but one experience among many. Everywhere you look when out on a full day game drive, a drama is being played out, with participants ranging from the largest elephant to the smallest beetle. Each is a truly unforgettable encounter.
