Can we customize the itinerary of this 5-day private safari in Serengeti Migration?

Yes, the itinerary can be altered to include more time in specific parks or to add extra activities like a hot air balloon flight. Since the vehicle is exclusively yours, your guide can adapt the route based on real time wildlife movements.

A professional and highly experienced local guide is dedicated to your group for the entire duration of the trip. They are experts in animal tracking and will share deep insights into the Tanzanian ecosystem and local culture.

What type of accommodation can we expect on a private tour?

What is the best time to see the herds during a private journey in the Serengeti Migration?

The best time depends on the season, with July to October being ideal for the northern crossings and December to March for the southern calving season. Your private guide will know exactly where to take you to find the largest herds.

Can we adjust the meal times and dietary requirements on our 5-day private safari?

We can cater to all dietary needs including vegan, gluten free, and halal options if you inform us in advance. Since the tour is private, you can also discuss preferred picnic lunch times with your guide each day.

Is it possible to add a cultural visit to a Maasai village?

Yes, a visit to a Maasai boma can be easily integrated into your schedule during the transition between parks. This provides a great opportunity to learn about traditional customs and support the local community directly.

How much luggage are we allowed to bring on this private trip?

We recommend using soft sided bags rather than hard suitcases to make it easier to pack the vehicle. There is generally more space in a private car, but keeping luggage compact ensures a more comfortable environment for everyone.

Are children welcome on this 5-day private safari in Serengeti Migration?

Private tours are perfect for families with children because you can manage the pace and take breaks whenever necessary. We can provide child seats and ensure the daily distances are manageable for younger travelers.
