Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, cheetahs, and leopards around too. Watch out for the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and zebras.

The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands, and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.
As the sun begins to set over the African savannah, it’s time to head back to your lodge after a thrilling day of safari adventures. But the experience isn’t over yet – the journey back to your lodge can be just as exciting as the game drives themselves. As your vehicle makes its way through the park, you might catch glimpses of wildlife that are more active in the evening hours, such as hyenas or nocturnal birds.
