En route, you’ll visit the historically significant Olduvai Gorge, known as the “Cradle of Mankind,” where you can explore the site where some of the oldest human fossils were discovered. The journey continues to the magnificent Serengeti, arriving in time for lunch at Serengeti Sopa Lodge. After settling in, embark on your first game drive in the late afternoon, when the wildlife is most active and the lighting is perfect for photography. Return to the lodge for dinner and your first night under the African stars, with the sounds of the wilderness as your lullaby.

For the adventurous, an optional hot air balloon safari can be arranged (at additional cost), offering a breathtaking perspective of the Serengeti at dawn. Return to the lodge for lunch and some leisure time before setting out again in the afternoon to discover different areas of this massive park, each with its own unique landscapes and wildlife populations.
