4 Days Tanzania Open-Vehicle Safari to Serengeti

The biggest advantage is the unobstructed 360-degree view you get during your game drives in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Since there are no glass windows, you feel much more connected to the sounds and scents of the African bush. This setup is particularly favored by photographers who want to capture sharp images of predators without glass reflections getting in the way.

Yes, it is perfectly safe as animals generally perceive the vehicle as a single large object rather than seeing individual people. Your professional guide is trained to maintain a respectful distance while ensuring you get the best possible look at lions and leopards. You must follow all safety instructions and remain seated inside the car at all times while in the national parks

Since the car does not have solid windows, you will be more exposed to the wind and the sun during your journey. We provide heavy-duty canvas covers that can be rolled down quickly in case of an unexpected rain shower to keep you dry. The open design allows for excellent natural ventilation which makes the midday heat much more manageable than in a closed car.

We recommend dressing in layers because the temperature changes significantly between the early morning and the afternoon. A windbreaker or a warm fleece is essential for the chilly morning drive down into the Ngorongoro Crater floor. Because of the dust on the tracks, neutral colors like khaki or olive are better for hiding the dirt compared to white or black clothing.

We can easily alter your schedule to include a cultural stop at an authentic Maasai boma near the rim of the crater. This visit allows you to learn about traditional customs and see how the local people live in harmony with wildlife. It adds about an hour to your trip and provides a wonderful human connection to your wildlife adventure.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places in the world to find the rare black rhino alongside massive herds of buffalo and elephants. In the Serengeti, you have a high probability of spotting lions and leopards resting in the acacia trees. Your guide will work tirelessly to track these iconic animals across the diverse habitats of the northern circuit.

Our customized safari trucks are equipped with internal charging ports so you can keep your cameras and phones powered up for all your photos. There is also a cooler box stocked with cold bottled water to keep you hydrated throughout the dusty game drives. We ensure that you have everything needed for a comfortable and productive time in the wilderness.

A sunrise balloon safari can be organized on your third morning for a spectacular aerial view of the plains. This activity provides a completely different perspective of the wandering herds and is followed by a celebratory champagne breakfast. It is a popular upgrade that we can seamlessly integrate into your existing four-day plan.

Tanzanian roads can be quite dusty during the peak dry months, and the open design of the car means some of that dust will enter the cabin. We suggest bringing a light scarf or a face mask to protect your breathing when passing other vehicles on the road. Many travelers find that the incredible visibility far outweighs the minor inconvenience of the dust.

We can arrange for you to fly from a Serengeti airstrip back to Arusha to save you several hours of travel time on the last day. This allows you to fit in one final morning game drive before heading to the airport for your flight home. Please let us know during the booking process so we can manage the extra logistics and flight tickets for your party.
