3 Days Tanzania Open-Vehicle Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Traveling in an open car provides an immersive experience where you can hear the sounds of the bush and feel the breeze as you drive. It offers unobstructed views for photography and wildlife spotting, allowing you to see animals without any glass or pillars in the way. This type of vehicle is perfect for those who want a closer connection to the Tanzanian wilderness

The unobstructed view from our open-vehicle safari makes it much easier to spot predators like leopards or rhinos that might be tucked away in the thickets. While wildlife sightings depend on luck and nature, our guides focus on the best habitats in the Serengeti and the crater floor to maximize your chances. You will spend most of your time in high-density wildlife areas specifically chosen for their Big Five populations.

We recommend wearing light, breathable clothing and using a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from the African sun. Most open cars are equipped with a canopy roof to provide shade while still keeping the sides open for viewing. It is also helpful to bring a scarf or buff to cover your nose and mouth on dusty roads in the Serengeti.

Your days will begin with an early morning game drive when animals are most active and the temperatures are still cool. After a picnic lunch in a scenic spot, you will continue exploring different parts of the park until the late afternoon. The schedule is designed to balance exciting animal encounters with relaxing evenings at your lodge or camp.

We offer a range of accommodations from luxury tented camps that sit right in the heart of the bush to comfortable lodges on the crater rim. These stays are chosen for their high standards of service, private bathrooms, and excellent dining facilities. Staying inside or near the park boundaries ensures you spend more time on safari and less time traveling.

Yes, you can easily customize this package to be a private tour for your family or group of friends. You can also add a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti plains to get an aerial view of the migrating herds. Simply let us know your preferences during the booking process so we can adjust the logistics and permits.

Professional photographers often prefer open-sided cars because they offer a lower vantage point and no window reflections. You can easily move your camera from side to side to follow the action of a hunting lion or a running cheetah. The lack of barriers ensures that your shots are clear and captured from the best possible angles.

Our open vehicles are equipped with high-quality roll-down waterproof covers that can be quickly deployed if a shower occurs. These covers protect you and your camera gear while still allowing for a view of the landscape through clear sections. Even in the rain, the experience remains exciting as the animals often change their behavior during a downpour.

We provide full-board meals that include a mix of hot breakfasts, picnic lunch boxes for the field, and multi-course dinners. Your lunch box usually contains fresh fruit, sandwiches, or chicken, and we can cater to any dietary needs such as vegetarian or gluten-free. Staying hydrated is important, so we always keep a supply of bottled water in the vehicle

Our guides are highly trained professionals who understand animal behavior and maintain a safe distance from all wildlife. Animals in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are generally accustomed to the presence of vehicles and do not see the passengers as a threat or food source. We follow strict park regulations to ensure your safety while providing a thrilling and up-close encounter with nature.
