You’ll have a different appreciation for the landscape and the sheer size of the terrain covered by the animals that live here. Once you return to solid ground you will be treated to a champagne breakfast on a viewing platform with panoramas over the grasses. As an optional activity, there’s an additional fee of $500 per person for this experience.

The rest of your day is dedicated to game drives throughout the park, with a choice of breaking up the day with a return to your accommodation for lunch or taking your midday meal as a picnic deep inside the park, surrounded by nature.

As the sun sets, once again treating you to multicolored skies, you will head back to your camp or lodge. Dinner is served and you then have time to reflect on the day and rest up, ready for another day out in the wilds.

Although today you will leave Serengeti National Park, you will remain very much within the same biosphere as you move southwards towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area that is attached to a much wider area under protection. Breakfast will be served early so you can get out on to the Serengeti early and complete your swansong game drive before moving into the area of the infamous crater.

As you pass through the area, you will come across Olduvai Gorge, a sparsely planted area that holds the key to human history. Here, Dr Richard Leakey spent years digging for the earliest human remains, with some bones dating back over a million years. He also discovered untold numbers of some of the first tools crafted by early humans; one of the most important discoveries in our history. To learn more about this fascinating place, you have the option to pay a visit to the museum on the site, for a fee of $40 per person.
