4 Days Serengeti Migration Open-Vehicle Safari

The main advantage is the 360 degree visibility which is perfect for photography and spotting hidden wildlife. You feel a closer connection to nature because you can hear the sounds and smell the scents of the bush. The open sides also ensure that every passenger has a great view without any glass reflections

Wild animals generally perceive the vehicle as a single large object rather than a group of individual humans. As long as you stay seated and follow your guide's instructions, it is very safe. The professional guides at Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD are trained to maintain a respectful distance from all wildlife.

Since the vehicle has no windows, dust can enter the car while driving on dry tracks. We recommend bringing a light scarf or buff to protect your face and keeping your camera in a dust-proof bag. Most travelers find that the superior views during the 4-day Serengeti Migration open-vehicle safari are well worth the extra dust.

Yes, the vehicles are equipped with high quality canvas covers or roll-down sides that can be quickly closed if it starts to rain. This keeps you and your equipment dry while still allowing for some visibility. Rain showers in the Serengeti are often short and help clear the dust from the air.

Most operators have a minimum age limit for open vehicles, usually around 6 or 12 years, depending on the specific lodge policies. This is to ensure that all passengers can remain quiet and seated during wildlife encounters. Please check with us during booking to see if your children meet the requirements for this specific car type.

You should bring layers of clothing because the air can be quite cold while the vehicle is moving in the early morning. A warm jacket, a hat, and plenty of sunscreen are essential. Neutral colors like khaki or olive green help you blend in and do not attract insects as much as bright colors.

Yes, our specialized vehicles are fitted with power sockets and USB ports for charging your cameras and phones. This ensures you never miss a shot of the migration during your long days in the field. You should still bring a spare battery as a backup for your most important gear.

We offer both private and group joining options for this tour. A private safari gives you total control over the pace and allows your guide to focus on your specific interests. This is a great choice for families or photography enthusiasts who want maximum flexibility.

The vehicles have a solid or canvas roof that provides shade throughout the day. This protects you from direct sunlight while the open sides allow for a cooling breeze. We still recommend wearing sunscreen and a hat because the sun can reflect off the surrounding light colored plains.
