Tanzania Serengeti National Park

“We parked right up next to her and got so close you could hear her breathing – a definite highlight for day 1! Because it was low season, we were one of a handful of safari vehicles in the western corridor all day. It was truly special being able to get so close to these incredible animals in such privacy and properly observe and learn their behaviours and temperament…”

“We made our way to Simba A campsite within the park where we were staying for the night. Amadeus had told us in advance that we were likely to hear and see some animals, and there were already a few zebra present among the tents. Soon, a few elephants walked by, keeping sheltered in the trees. It was all very magical until I woke up at 2am and had to make sure I didn’t run into any zebras or step on any poo as I staggered toward the bathroom.”

“And after a short but torrential rain we were blessed with a close encounter with our first family of lions. They came to drink where we just passed with our car, a few minutes before. Fantastic! We were incredibly excited after our first encounter, not knowing that there would be much, much more.”
