grasslands, waterfalls and mountain forests are home to an abundance
of animals and to the Maasai. In the evening ascend to the lodge for

Day 4. Serengeti.
After breakfast depart for Serengeti passing through Olduvai Gorge
the site of Leakey?s family discovery of fossils of human and animal
ancestors dating back to almost two million years. The Serengeti
ecosystem is one of the oldest on earth. The essential features of
climate, vegetation and fauna have barely changed in the past
million years. Early man himself made an appearance in Olduvai Gorge
about two million years ago. Some patterns of life, death,
adaptation and migration are as old as the hills themselves. Meals
and overnight at Sopa lodge.
Day 5. Serengeti.
Full day in Serengeti plains with morning and afternoon game viewing
and drive. Search for wild game you might have missed the previous
game drive. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most
famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow
south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short
rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north
after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the
ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile
infested river can hold them back. Meals and overnight at Sopa
lodge.
