FAQs about 7 Days Serengeti Migration Open-Vehicle Safari

What are the benefits of a 7-day Open-Vehicle safari?

Open vehicles provide unobstructed 360-degree views and a much more immersive experience. You can hear the sounds of the bush and smell the air, which makes you feel much more connected to the wildlife and the landscape.

Is it safe to be in an open vehicle with wild animals?

Yes, it is very safe. Predators do not see individual people inside the vehicle but rather see the car as one large object. Our guides are experts at reading animal behavior and keeping a safe distance during every 7-day Open-Vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration.

What happens if it rains during the tour?

Our open vehicles are equipped with high-quality roll-down canvas sides or roofs that can be quickly closed if it starts to rain. This keeps you and your camera gear dry while still allowing for good visibility.

What should I pack for a 7-day Open-Vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration?

We recommend wearing layers as the open vehicle can be quite cold in the mornings and evenings. A windbreaker jacket, a hat, and a scarf to protect against dust are also very useful items to bring.

Is it very dusty in an open vehicle?

Open vehicles can be dustier than closed ones, especially on dry roads. We provide scarves and recommend wearing sunglasses to help keep you comfortable while traveling through the parks.

Can we see the Big Five on this tour?

Yes, the open vehicle is one of the best ways to spot the Big Five because you have a much wider field of vision. Our guides will help you find lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino.

Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provide blankets?

Yes, we provide warm blankets in our open vehicles to keep you comfortable during the early morning and late afternoon game drives when the temperature drops.

Are open vehicles allowed in the Ngorongoro Crater?

Yes, open vehicles are allowed and provide an incredible way to see the crater floor. The 360-degree views make it much easier to spot the black rhino and other animals across the caldera.

How many people can fit in an open safari vehicle?

Our open vehicles typically hold between four and six passengers. This ensures that everyone has plenty of space and an excellent view for photography and wildlife watching.

What is the best time for a 7-day Open-Vehicle safari in Serengeti Migration?

The best time is from June to October during the dry season. The visibility is best during these months and the movement of the Great Migration is most active in the central and northern Serengeti.

serengeti like never before

5/5

The 360-degree views were amazing and I felt so much closer to the lions than in a closed car.
