The Booking Form
3-day luxury safari in December exploring Serengeti migration herds and Ngorongoro Crater.
N.B: After you send your booking we will get back to you with in 24 hours.
How many parks can I realistically visit in 3 days?
For a high-end experience, we recommend focusing on two: Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. This limits road time and maximizes your hours spent with animals.
What kind of amenities are in a luxury safari vehicle?
Expect high-back captain seats, a built-in refrigerator with premium drinks, 220V power outlets for cameras, and high-speed satellite Wi-Fi.
Is it safe to sleep in a luxury tented camp?
Absolutely. These "tents" are built on solid platforms with wood floors and locking doors. You are also escorted by armed guards (Askari) whenever you move at night.
What is the "Sundowner" experience?
It’s a safari tradition where we set up a private bar and gourmet snacks in a scenic spot at sunset, allowing you to toast to the day’s sightings.
Do the lodges cater to specific dietary needs?
Yes. Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or require Halal meals, the world-class chefs at our selected lodges prepare bespoke menus just for you.
Can I see the Big Five in 3 days?
Yes, the Ngorongoro Crater is the best place on earth to see all five (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino) in a single morning.
Is a bush flight better than driving?
If your budget allows, a "Fly-In" safari is superior. It turns a 4-hour drive into a 20-minute scenic flight, giving you more time for relaxation and game drives.
What is included in the "Luxury" price?
Usually everything: all meals, park fees, private 4x4, expert guide, laundry services, and even top-shelf spirits at the lodges.
How early do game drives start?
We recommend leaving at 6:00 AM. This is when predators are most active and the light is perfect for high-end photography.
Is there a dress code for the lodges?
The vibe is "Safari Chic"—neutral colors and comfortable fabrics. Evening dinners are elegant but relaxed; there's no need for formal wear.
