• Today's walk begins in the pretty acacia woodland and out into the flat savannah plains which seem to stretch uninterrupted forever ahead of you.
• Whether the migration herds will be encountered towards the start of your walk or the end will depend on the point in the season you are travelling on this adventure, but regardless of this, there is plentiful resident wildlife to encounter along the way, including big cats, elephant, rhino and of course some spectacular birdlife.

Day 3: Serengeti

• Head northwards through open plains, natural gullies and explore the rocky kopjes which are scattered around the Serengeti landscape.
• You will regularly stop to take in the ever-changing vistas, rest in the shade, and rehydrate along the way, as well as enjoy wildlife encounters, look for tracks and signs in the earth and vegetation, and listen out for tell-tale alarm calls that something interesting is nearby.

• Being on foot allows you a much quieter and gentler approach with the wildlife, and a more humbling and vulnerable perspective than that of a safari vehicle, which makes any encounter all the more thrilling and memorable.
