In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive in the Seronera Valley, a prime spot for leopards and lions.

RELATED FAQS ABOUT 5 Days Serengeti Migration Eco-Friendly Safari

What makes this 5-day Eco-friendly safari different from a standard tour?

This package focuses on minimizing environmental impact by using solar powered lodges and reducing plastic waste. We also ensure that our vehicles are well maintained for fuel efficiency and follow strict off road driving rules to protect the soil.

How does a 5-day Eco-friendly safari in Serengeti Migration support local communities?

We partner with lodges that employ local staff and support community projects like schools and clean water initiatives. By booking this tour, you contribute to a sustainable economy that values wildlife conservation over poaching or habitat destruction.

Can I charge my camera on a 5-day Eco-friendly safari?

Yes, our eco-lodges use solar panels and battery storage to provide electricity for charging devices in your room or the main lounge. Most of our safari vehicles also have charging ports that run while the engine is on.

Is plastic banned during the 5-day Serengeti Migration Eco-friendly safari?

Tanzania has a national ban on plastic bags, and we take it further by providing filtered water in large containers instead of single use plastic bottles. We encourage guests to bring their own reusable bottles to use throughout the trip.

What kind of food is served on an eco-friendly tour?

We serve fresh meals made from organic ingredients sourced from local farmers in the Karatu and Arusha regions. This reduces the carbon footprint of transporting food and ensures you enjoy healthy, traditional Tanzanian flavors.

Are the safari vehicles electric or hybrid?

Most safari vehicles in Tanzania currently run on diesel, but we ensure ours are regularly serviced to minimize emissions. We are constantly monitoring the industry for sustainable vehicle options as they become available in East Africa.

How is waste managed in the Serengeti camps?

Our partner camps use a carry in carry out policy where all non biodegradable waste is transported back to Arusha for proper recycling. Organic waste is often composted on site in a way that does not attract wild animals.

Can I participate in any conservation activities during the 5-day Eco-friendly safari?

While the main focus is wildlife viewing, our guides provide deep insights into conservation challenges. You can also visit local conservation centers in Arusha before or after your safari to learn more about their work.

Is the water at the eco-lodges safe to drink?

The lodges provide purified or treated water that is safe for drinking and brushing teeth. We recommend using the provided water to avoid the need for buying bottled water in plastic containers.

How do I offset my carbon footprint for the flights to Tanzania?

Many airlines offer carbon offset programs, and we can also recommend local Tanzanian reforestation projects where you can donate. Planting trees in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro is a popular way for our guests to give back.

Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provided an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the eco-system. We saw a leopard with its kill on the second day.
