Lions & Flat Tires: A High-Stakes Serengeti Adventure

A quick safari guide can change a flat tire on a 4x4 vehicle while a pride of lions watches from 20 meters away in the Serengeti grasslands.

Flat Tires and Predators: Just Another Day on the Serengeti

There are few things as invigorating as fixing a flat tire with a pride of lions watching your every move.

While on a recent game drive, we found ourselves grounded. Ellie nimbly went to work replacing the wheel, while Steve kept a laser-focused eye on a group of females and cubs lounging just 20 meters away. As for me? I was busy capturing the moment—though all of us were just a twitch away from leaping back into the rig at the first sign of movement!

Insert a Little Vigor Into Your Life

If you’re looking to trade the mundane for the extraordinary, there is no better place than the last great wild frontier: the African Serengeti.

We have 4x4 seats waiting for you next February—the heart of the birthing season in the grasslands. It’s a time of incredible drama, new life, and the kind of adrenaline you can only get from being truly immersed in the wild.

Love the Grit?

Since you appear to be a fan of grease, dirt, and high-performance machinery, you’ll appreciate the gear that gets us there. Check out this sweet rig here: An Archaeologist's Rig (Part 17). It can handle the toughest terrain the landscape throws at us.
