After lunch at your accommodation, set out once more to explore more of this remarkable landscape and its hidden treasures. - Day 10 – Safari in the Serengeti:
The Serengeti’s reputation for wildlife viewing is second to none. This is the home to one of nature’s greatest shows—the Great Migration. Set off on a full-day game drive with your Driver Guide, who’ll share stories about the annual journey made by over a million wildebeest as they travel across the Mara River in search of greener pastures. As you traverse the plains dotted with Acacia trees, stay on the lookout for wildlife.

Your Driver Guide will be on the lookout for the area’s impressive elephant herds, giving you the chance to admire these gentle giants up close as they search for the juiciest vegetation. - Day 14 – Farewell:
The rich aroma of local coffee lingers in the air as you savour lunch at one of Tanzania’s largest coffee plantations. Then it’s time to say a sad farewell to your new friends and Safari Driver Guide (onward flights should not be booked to depart until after 5 pm).
