Stay Longer. We got you covered.

Activities that you can tick-off your bucketlist

Do nothing in your first few days. Just relax and unwind and savor the experience of being one with nature. If you’re looking to stay much longer, don’t worry as we got you covered with several of our activities you can do right at the Serengeti

Massage

We invite you to indulge in a bit of pampering in the care of our trained massage therapists. Using a blend of African and traditional massage practices, your body will rejoice in their rejuvenating care.

Bush Dining

Your tastebuds will celebrate the array of delectable treats on offer, to be enjoyed at scenic picnic spots. Our kitchen has got the packed picnic lunch down to a fine art.

Bonfire

No evening on safari would be complete without the crackle and warmth of a roaring bonfire. Dubbed the ‘bush TV’, you’ll be mesmerized as you are serenaded by the other sounds of the African night.

Witness the Great Migration

Dubbed “The Greatest Show on Earth”, the southern Serengeti is the starting point for the migration of over a million wildebeest, 200 000 zebras, and 200 000 other antelope. With their young in tow, the herd sets off in search of better grazing over the border in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. In the course of their epic 800 km roundtrip, they will have to brave numerous challenges; including predators lying in ambush and the swiftly flowing rivers. Although the timing varies depending on rainfall, May through July are regarded as the peak period during which to see the herd move through the Serengeti. Let us know if you would like to witness this wildlife event should your stay fall within these months.
