Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to go on this safari?

This safari can be enjoyed year-round. The dry season (June to October) offers excellent wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. The wet season (November to May) brings lush landscapes and migratory birds, with calving season often in late January to February in the Southern Serengeti.

What should I pack for this safari?

We recommend light, comfortable clothing in neutral colors (khaki, olive green). Bring layers for cooler mornings and evenings, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, a camera with extra batteries, binoculars, and comfortable walking shoes.

Are there any age restrictions for this tour?

Children as young as 6 years old are generally welcome on this safari, accompanied by an adult. Please note that long driving days can be challenging for very young children. There is no upper age limit, but participants should be reasonably fit for getting in and out of the safari vehicle.

Yes, this itinerary can be customized. Please contact us to discuss your preferences, such as extending the duration, upgrading accommodation, or adding specific activities like a hot air balloon safari in Serengeti.
