FAQs about 7 Days Serengeti Migration Family Safari

Is the 7-day Serengeti Migration Family safari safe for young children?

Yes, this safari is designed with safety as a top priority. We use closed 4x4 vehicles with pop-up roofs and stay in fenced or well-monitored lodges. Our guides are experienced in traveling with families and ensure that children are safe and entertained throughout the trip.

What kind of food is available for kids on a 7-day Family safari?

Most lodges and camps offer a variety of international and local dishes. We can arrange for kid-friendly meals like pasta, chicken, and fresh fruit. Please let us know if your children have any specific allergies or preferences before the trip starts.

How do we handle long drives with children during the tour?

We plan the 7-day Family safari in Serengeti Migration with regular stops for restrooms and leg stretching. Our vehicles are spacious and we provide snacks and water to keep everyone comfortable. The guides also share interesting facts about the animals to keep children engaged during the journey.

Are there age limits for seeing the river crossings in the north?

There are no official age limits for game drives to the Mara River. However, we recommend this for children who can handle a few hours of waiting for the animals to cross. The excitement of the crossing usually keeps children very interested in the wildlife action.

Can we get a private vehicle for our family?

Yes, we highly recommend a private vehicle for families to allow for more flexibility. This means you can start your day when you want and stop for as long as you need at specific animal sightings. It provides a more relaxed environment for your 7-day Family safari.

Do the lodges have swimming pools?

Many of the lodges we select in the Karatu and Serengeti areas have swimming pools. This is a great way for children to burn off energy after a day of sitting in the safari vehicle. We ensure the accommodation is fun for both adults and kids.

What should I pack for my children on this safari?

We recommend packing light clothing, a warm jacket for cool mornings, and a hat for sun protection. Bringing a set of binoculars and a wildlife guidebook for kids is also a great idea. Don't forget to pack any specific medications or snacks that your children prefer.

Is there Wi-Fi at the lodges for the kids to use?

Most lodges have Wi-Fi in the common lounge areas or dining rooms. While the connection may be slower than at home, it is usually enough for checking emails or sending photos. This helps everyone stay connected during the 7-day Family safari in Serengeti Migration.

How close do we get to the animals?

We stay at a safe but respectful distance that allows for excellent viewing and photography. In places like the Ngorongoro Crater, animals are used to vehicles and often walk quite close. Your guide will always ensure that the animals are not disturbed while you watch them.

Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provide car seats for toddlers?

We can provide car seats if you request them in advance. This ensures your smaller children are secure and comfortable during the drives between the parks. Safety is our main concern when hosting families in Tanzania.
