We’re headed to Tanzania’s oldest and largest reserve, the Serengeti. But along our route, we’ll stop at a very special place – the Olduvai Gorge. Immense troves of fossilized remnants from ancient man have been discovered here, including vast numbers of tools. These have provided an invaluable record of human development. It’s an eye-opening experience.

But the great Serengeti is next – it’s a great treeless plain, extending to the horizon, filled with wildebeest, gazelle, zebra, impalas, and exciting populations of lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Plenty of time today to get to know the Serengeti, with unlimited game drives and time for relaxation at your accommodation. The great park has been called one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of Africa” because of its wildlife by the millions and its brilliant display of over 500 colorful bird species.

It will be a very full day. Come evening, we’ll retire to our Serengeti accommodation for dinner and relaxation.
