FACILITIES & SERVICES
At our safari lodge, we believe that a true African adventure is more than simply touring in a 4x4. The Serengeti offers a wealth of awe-inspiring experiences that will create memories to last a lifetime. Here are some of our favourite activities that await you in this breathtaking wilderness:
A full-day game drive is an absolute must in the Serengeti. After an early breakfast, you'll set off and stay out all day, with a picturesque lunch served in the bush. Alternatively, you can split your safari with a morning game drive, returning to the camp for a leisurely lunch, before heading out again in the afternoon. The sheer abundance of wildlife will take your breath away, including sightings of the legendary Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo.
One of the Serengeti's most scenic areas is the Moru Kopjes. Here, large rocks dot the landscape where Maasai and Dorobo tribespeople once settled, leaving their mark through fascinating rock paintings. Of particular interest is Gong Rock, a truly captivating site used by earlier tribespeople as a gong to communicate with their neighbours. These rarely visited locations add a memorable cultural dimension to your wildlife adventures.
For a truly special experience, we offer an exclusive rhino tracking excursion accompanied by a Tanapa ranger. This unique opportunity allows you to see rare black rhinos in their natural habitat in the Moru Kopjes area, providing an unforgettable encounter with one of Africa's most endangered species.
As the day draws to a close, indulge in our signature sunset cocktail experience, set up exclusively for you in the heart of the Serengeti. With spectacular views of the endless plains bathed in golden light, this is the perfect way to end a perfect day on safari.
For those seeking an even more intimate connection with the wild, there's no better way than a walking safari. Feel the ancient earth beneath your feet as you tread on the tracks of animals that have walked there moments before. In the company of an experienced guide, you'll learn about the diverse flora and fauna of the area, gaining a deeper appreciation for the delicate ecosystem of the Serengeti.
Each of these experiences has been carefully curated to showcase the very best of what the Serengeti has to offer, ensuring that your safari adventure goes far beyond the ordinary and into the realm of the extraordinary.
