A delicious bush lunch will be served before continuing with more game viewing until late afternoon. In the evening, you will check in at Hippo Trails Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, you will spend a full day exploring the wonders of Serengeti National Park, famous for its vast open plains and the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras.
