As with the other parks each area has ample food and drink stops, the guide will give you a description of all the restaurants. I would highly recommend The Crown Colony Restaurant; you look out over the Serengeti Plain at the animals whilst you sit peacefully eating your dinner.

For an additional fee you are able to go on a behind the scenes tour where you can actually hand feed some of the animals, this tour is worth the money but it is advisable to book before you arrive to avoid disappointment.
