Bush breakfast in Serengeti National Park

While on safari in Tanzania, some of the most classic safari experiences are having meals in the wild, this will range from Sunset cruises, hot picnic lunches and sundowner drinks whether you’re travelling in A group, family, or on a private safari you will love the experience.

One of the classic safari highlights in Serengeti National Park is the bush breakfast which is one of the experiences not to be missed. Typically, guests are awakened by a very early morning cup of tea. They then set off on a game drive, which is timed to offer the very best chance of spotting “The Big Five” (elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and buffalos).

Setting off ahead of the guests, the lodge team will arrive at the chosen breakfast spot in time to set up tables, chairs, a campfire, and the “bush kitchen.” Upon arrival, the guests are typically met with a glass of chilled sparkling wine and fresh-pressed orange juice. They can then sit down to enjoy a uniquely scenic full English breakfast. Meanwhile, our chef will cook their choice of sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and toast.

Eating with African wildlife onsite is one of the best safari memories for travellers in Serengeti National Park we highly recommend doing this if you can and a booking is required as the lodge can be busy.
