What can I expect during a three-day Tanzania safari in November within the Serengeti?
November marks the start of the short rains, which brings a beautiful green hue to the dusty plains. You can expect to see the Great Migration herds moving from the north back toward the central and southern regions. This 2-night Serengeti experience offers excellent opportunities to witness predator action as lions follow the migrating wildebeest.
What is the typical weather like for a 3-day November excursion?
November is characterized by short, intermittent afternoon showers that rarely disrupt the game drives. The temperatures are generally warm during the day and pleasantly cool at night. It is a good idea to pack a light raincoat and some layers to stay comfortable throughout the day.
Are we likely to see the Big Five during this 2-night stay?
While the Serengeti is vast, your professional guide will focus on the central Seronera area where leopards and lions are resident year-round. You will also have a high chance of spotting elephants and buffaloes near the permanent water sources. The rare black rhino is harder to find but can sometimes be seen in the Moru Kopjes area.
What kind of vehicle is used for the game drives?
We provide a customized 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for unobstructed viewing. The vehicle comes equipped with a small fridge for cold drinks and charging ports for your cameras and phones. Every passenger is guaranteed a window seat to ensure the best possible photography experience.
How are meals handled during the 3-day safari?
All meals are included, starting from a picnic lunch on the first day to breakfast on the final morning. You will enjoy hot, multi-course dinners at your lodge or tented camp in the evenings. For lunch, we provide well-packed boxes so you can eat while watching animals in the wild.
Is it possible to add a hot air balloon flight to our 2-night Serengeti itinerary?
A sunrise balloon safari is a popular extra activity that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. It provides a breathtaking perspective of the savannah and the migrating herds from above. After landing, you will enjoy a traditional champagne breakfast in the middle of the bush.
Is November a good time for birdwatching in the park?
Yes, November is fantastic for birding because migratory species from Europe and North Africa begin to arrive. You can see a wide variety of colorful birds alongside the resident species in the acacia woodlands. The clear air after the short rains makes for excellent bird photography.
Can we visit a Maasai village during our three-day trip?
We can easily alter your schedule to include a cultural visit to a Maasai boma near the park entrance. This allows you to learn about their traditional lifestyle and customs before heading deeper into the wilderness. Such a visit usually takes about an hour and adds a great cultural element to your journey.
What type of lodging is provided for the two nights?
You will stay in high-quality tented camps or lodges that offer a blend of luxury and an authentic bush feel. These accommodations feature private en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds, and stunning views of the plains. Sleeping in the heart of the park allows you to hear the sounds of the African night.
Are the national park entry fees included in the package?
All mandatory government taxes, park entry permits, and conservation fees are fully covered in the total cost. You will not have to worry about any hidden expenses or making payments at the gate. This allows for a smooth and stress-free entry into the Serengeti for your adventure.
