Even on a budget, we ensure that our vehicles are well maintained and comfortable for all passengers.
Can I still see the Big Five on a low cost Serengeti trip?
The animals do not know the difference between a luxury and a budget tour, so your chances remain excellent. You will visit the same game viewing areas in the central Serengeti where lions, leopards, and elephants are frequently spotted.

What essential items should I pack for a camping safari in the Serengeti?
You should bring a warm sleeping bag, although we can provide one for a small fee if requested in advance.

Do not forget a flashlight, a portable power bank, and your personal toiletries for the shared facilities.
How much time is spent driving to and from the Serengeti during these three days?
The drive from Arusha to the Serengeti is quite long but very scenic as you pass through the Ngorongoro Highlands. We make several stops at viewpoints and for lunch to make the journey enjoyable.
