Staying in a lodge provides a relaxing environment after a long day of game viewing on the savannah.

    Can I see the Big Five on this 4-day lodge safari?

    While the migration is the main focus, you have a high chance of seeing lions, elephants, leopards, and buffaloes. The Northern Serengeti is also home to the elusive black rhino, though sightings are rarer. Your guide will work hard to track these iconic animals alongside the migration herds.

    Is a 4-day lodge safari in Serengeti Migration more comfortable than camping?

    A lodge safari offers a much higher level of comfort including solid walls, real beds, and standard plumbing. You will also have access to swimming pools and lounge areas in many of the properties. This is the best option for travelers who prefer a refined experience while exploring the African wilderness.

    What is the best time for the migration in the north?

    The peak season for the Northern Serengeti is typically between mid July and late October. During this window, the wildebeest are concentrated near the Mara River for the crossings. Booking your tour during these months ensures the best wildlife spectacle.

    Are meals provided at the lodges during the tour?

    All your meals including breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided as part of the package. The lodges serve a variety of international and local dishes prepared by professional chefs. On full day game drives, a high quality picnic lunch is provided to enjoy in the bush.

    Can I customize the 4-day lodge safari to include a balloon flight?

    Yes, a sunrise hot air balloon flight can be added to your itinerary for an extra fee. This allows you to see the migration herds from an aerial perspective before continuing with ground game drives. It is a popular addition that we can easily coordinate with the lodge schedules.

    How long are the drives between locations?

    The drives on the first and last days are approximately eight hours long as you travel to and from Arusha. On the middle days, you will spend most of the day in the vehicle but with frequent stops for animal sightings. We ensure the vehicles are comfortable to make the travel time enjoyable.

    Is there Wi-Fi available in the lodges?

    Most luxury lodges in the Serengeti provide Wi-Fi in the main lounge and dining areas. However, the connection can sometimes be slow due to the remote location of the camps. It is usually sufficient for checking emails and sharing a few photos of your adventure.

    What should I pack for a 4-day lodge safari?

    We recommend packing light, breathable clothing in neutral colors and a warm jacket for the cool morning drives. Do not forget your camera, binoculars, and plenty of sun protection. Since you are staying in lodges, you do not need to bring any bedding or towels.
