This picture-perfect landscape is characterised by endless stretches of savannah plains interspersed by rocky outcrops of granite and scattered with acacia woodlands and covered in a network of rivers and streams. The Central Serengeti forms part of the great wildebeest and zebra migration and provides an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife such as giraffe, impala, waterbuck, hippo, buffalot, elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, serval and much more. As an optional extra, you can book a sunrise balloon ride over the plains, an experience that is hard to capture in words… Picnic lunch, and the evening we will have a special private dinner in the bush.Overnight at the Nimali Central Serengeti Luxury Camp. |
