Day 2: Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

This morning’s African adventure begins with an exploratory game drive through Tanzania’s oldest and
most recognized National Park, the Serengeti. This location offers the most expansive game viewing in
Tanzania. From predators to prey, great herds of grazing herbivores to tactically cunning packs of
carnivores, life on the plains of the Serengeti can best be defined as a complete “circle of life.”
Spend today searching out Impala, one of Africa’s most beautiful and graceful animals. Previously
thought to be part of the gazelle tribe, Impalas have been found to be so different that they are now
classified as their own sub-family status. Leopards, cheetahs, lions, and wild dogs prey on impala.
Impalas can reach running speeds of approximately 50 to 55 mph (80 to 90 km/h) to escape their
predators.
