Is Wi-Fi available on the 7-day Lodge safari in Serengeti Migration?

Most of the lodges we select offer Wi-Fi in the common lounge and dining areas. While the connection may not be as fast as in major cities, it is usually sufficient for basic communication and sharing photos of your trip.

Are the meals included in the 7-day Lodge safari?

Yes, the package includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the duration of the tour. Meals are usually served as buffets or multi-course set menus, featuring a mix of local and international cuisine prepared to a high standard.

What is the advantage of a lodge safari over a camping safari?

A lodge safari provides more comfort and amenities, such as real beds, electricity, and private bathrooms. It is a great option for those who want to see the migration but prefer a more refined environment at the end of the day

Is electricity available 24/7 in the lodges?

Most permanent lodges have electricity throughout the day and night. Some luxury tented camps use solar power and may turn off generators at night, but they provide lanterns or battery power for lighting and charging devices.

Can we request specific lodges for our 7-day Lodge safari in Serengeti Migration?

Yes, we can customize your itinerary to include specific lodges that you prefer. Whether you want a lodge with a view of the crater or a camp right next to the Mara River, we can make it happen.

What should I pack for a lodge-based safari?

We recommend comfortable clothing, a warm jacket for cool mornings, and a hat. Since you will be staying in lodges, you might also want to bring a few slightly nicer outfits for dinner, although the atmosphere remains casual.

Are laundry services available at the lodges?

Most lodges and permanent camps offer laundry services for an additional fee. This is very convenient for a 7-day safari, allowing you to pack lighter and keep your clothes fresh throughout the journey.

Is it safe to stay in lodges within the national parks?

Yes, the lodges are very safe and are designed to coexist with the wildlife. While animals may occasionally walk near the lodge grounds, there are always staff and security measures in place to ensure your safety.

How many people can share a room in the lodges?

Most rooms are designed for double or twin occupancy, but many lodges also offer triple rooms or family suites. Please let us know your group configuration so we can book the most suitable rooms for you.
