FAQs about 6 Days Serengeti Migration Open-Vehicle Safari

What is the benefit of the 6-day open-vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration?

The main benefit is the unobstructed 360-degree view, which is perfect for photography and spotting animals that might be hidden from a standard window. It also allows you to feel more connected to nature, as you can hear the sounds and smell the scents of the African bush without any barriers.

Are open vehicles safe for a 6-day open-vehicle safari?

Yes, open vehicles are very safe. They are operated by experienced guides who understand animal behavior and maintain a safe distance. The animals are habituated to the presence of vehicles, and our guides follow strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for all our guests.

Will I get dusty or wet in an open vehicle during the 6-day open-vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration?

Because the vehicle is open, you will be more exposed to the elements like dust and wind. We provide ponchos for light rain, but you should expect to get a little dusty during the game drives. It is all part of the authentic and immersive experience of an open-vehicle tour.

What should I pack for an open-vehicle tour?

We recommend bringing a light scarf or face mask for dusty areas, a good sun hat with a strap, and plenty of sunblock. It can also get quite windy while driving, so a light jacket or windbreaker is helpful to stay comfortable throughout the day.

Is there shade in the open vehicles?

Yes, most of our open vehicles have a permanent or removable roof covering to provide shade from the direct sun. However, the sides remain open to ensure you still have that 360-degree view and the feeling of being right in the middle of the action.

Can children participate in the 6-day open-vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration?

Yes, children can participate, but they must be able to stay seated and follow safety instructions. It is an incredibly exciting way for kids to see the wildlife, but we recommend it for slightly older children who are comfortable with the wind and dust.

How many people can fit in an open vehicle?

Our open vehicles typically hold between four and six passengers. This ensures that everyone has plenty of space for themselves and their camera gear, providing a more personal and high-quality viewing experience for every guest on the tour.

Will we see the Big Five on the 6-day open-vehicle safari?

Yes, this itinerary covers the best parks for the Big Five. The open view is especially helpful for spotting elusive leopards in trees or rhinos in the distance on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. You will have excellent chances to see all five animals.

Are there charging ports in the open vehicles?

Yes, our vehicles are equipped with charging ports so you can keep your camera and phone batteries full throughout the day. This is essential for a 6-day open-vehicle safari where you will be taking many photos of the stunning scenery and wildlife.

How much time is spent driving each day?

Driving times vary between 4 and 6 hours depending on the day and the wildlife movement. The open vehicle makes the travel time much more enjoyable as you are always part of the landscape and can spot animals even while moving between the parks.
