Day Four
After breakfast we will embark on a short game drive in Tarangire then head to Isoitok camp, our next accommodation. Join local guide Maasai for a hot lunch as he teaches you about the natural medicines still used on a daily basis and a walk of the surrounding area. We will walk over to a local viewpoint to witness the sunset over Lake Manyara with a cool drink and snacks.

This will be another full day of game drives in the Serengeti. We’ll head to the Rock Kopjes where we should have a good chance of seeing some of the cat families – both cheetahs and lions use these giant rock outcrops as observation posts.
