7.30pm: Weather permitting, a delicious dinner is served under the stars, next to a crackling campfire. There’s no light pollution in these remote areas and on clear nights it's possible to see the spellbinding milky way. 8.30pm: After dinner guests and guides sit round the campfire, reliving their highlights from the day and discussing what lies ahead tomorrow. The expertise and local knowledge of the guides is invaluable as they listen to guests' passions and make plans that are best suited to the current environment. 9.30pm: With a full day of safari experiences starting at dawn, most will choose to retire to their luxury tents. A member of the team will lead you through the campsite looking out for any wild visitors who may have wandered in unannounced. Dim lighting welcomes you as you step inside your tent. We recommend sleeping with the sheer gauze uncovered at least once during your stay, for a night drenched in the sounds of the bush, twinkling stars and pitch black mornings that slowly turn orange and pink as the sun rises. 90
Inspirations
DAY 2 6.00am: The smell of fresh coffee floats into the tent from mugs left just outside as part of your wake up call. Take a few moments to appreciate the morning sounds of the Serengeti before meeting your guides at the main tent for breakfast-snacks. All Wilderness Usawa locations are within the Serengeti’s walking zones, meaning that an all-senses walking safari excursion is possible straight from camp. Set out this morning with your guide and ranger to experience an authentic and peaceful connection to the land. 8.00am: Walk back into camp for a hearty breakfast. Once finished, freshen up with a hot shower, and then meet your guide in camp to get ready for the next activity.
