Along the way, admire the breathtaking landscapes and spot wildlife roaming freely. Once inside the Serengeti, begin your game drive across its endless plains, where lions, cheetahs, and leopards patrol the grasslands, and massive herds of wildebeest and zebras graze peacefully. As the day ends, check into your midrange lodge or tented camp located in the central Serengeti for an evening under the starlit African sky.
