comprised mostly of females and cubs and only one or two adultmales. Typically prides have 6-12 lions but can sometimes have morethan 30 members.

DAY 7Wednesday

5/26/21

Serengeti National Parkoptional dawn hot air balloon ride, continue wildlife viewingMost of us know about the “Great Migration” from nature programs

that capture some of the most thrilling moments on film. Oftenmisunderstood, the migration is a perpetual, year-round processinvolving over one million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra who roamthe plains in search of food and water. The migration’s most dramaticmoments often occur when large numbers of wildebeest and zebramake river crossings, during which they must elude predators in adesperate fight for survival. There is no telling exactly when thesehighly dramatic movements will occur, but all safari-goers are sure tosee plenty of wildebeest and zebra while in Tanzania.

OptionalSerengetiBalloonExcursion

Those with advance reservations will have theopportunity to balloon across the plains during oneof your mornings in the Serengeti. A pre-dawnwake-up call leaves you time to drive to the balloonlaunch site in order to catch the most dramatic light.Take to the skies just as the sun rises. Glide over theplains and acacia treetops, taking in spectacularviews of the Seronera River Valley and thesurrounding plains. After your descent, enjoy amagnificent champagne breakfast right in the midstof the Serengeti wilderness.

Explore Campwith Your Guide

For those who opt not to take the balloon excursion,there is much to discover within arm’s reach ofcamp; learn how to identify animal footprints andbird calls with your guide.

ContinueWildlife Viewing

Enjoy a picnic lunch in a scenic spot. This afternoon,spend more time seeking out wildlife and exploringthe Serengeti’s rich landscapes. The so-called BigFive and the Great Migration are the most well-known of the Serengeti’s offerings, but there ismuch more to see. Thousands of equally fascinatingdramas of a smaller scale play themselves out onthese endless plains.
