FAQs about 7 Days Serengeti Migration off-Road Safari

What kind of vehicles are used for the 7-day Off-Road safari?

We use specially modified 4x4 Land Cruisers with heavy-duty suspension and high ground clearance. These vehicles are designed to handle the rugged and dusty trails of the Serengeti and Tarangire with ease and safety.

Is off-roading allowed everywhere in the Serengeti?

Off-roading is strictly controlled to protect the environment. We use permitted tracks that feel rugged and remote but still follow the park rules to ensure we do not damage the sensitive ecosystem.

What should I expect during a 7-day Off-Road safari in Serengeti Migration?

Expect a bumpy and dusty ride as we explore the less-traveled areas of the parks. This tour is perfect for adventurers who want to get away from the crowds and see the wilderness in its rawest form.

Can we see the Big Five on this tour?

Yes, our rugged routes cover the best habitats for lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino. Our guides are experts at navigating these trails to find the animals.

What is the best time for a 7-day Off-Road safari in Serengeti Migration?

The best time is from July to October when the migration is in the north. The drier conditions during these months make the rugged trails easier to navigate while providing excellent wildlife viewing.

Is this safari suitable for people with back problems?

Because of the bumpy nature of the rugged trails, we do not recommend this specific safari for individuals with severe back or neck issues. A standard lodge safari might be a more comfortable option for you.

Do we need to bring any special gear?

We recommend bringing a dust mask or a scarf to cover your face on the dusty tracks. Good quality binoculars and a camera with a stabilizing lens are also very helpful for viewing animals from the rugged trails.

How much driving is involved each day?

Driving times vary between 4 and 6 hours per day. Our 7-day Off-Road safari is designed to include plenty of time for wildlife viewing so you are not just driving the whole time.

Are the guides experienced in off-road driving?

Our guides are highly trained in 4x4 driving techniques and have years of experience navigating the difficult terrains of Tanzania. They know how to handle the vehicle safely in all conditions.

Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provide enough water on these rugged routes?

Yes, we carry plenty of bottled drinking water in our vehicles. We ensure that you stay hydrated even during the hottest and dustiest parts of the 7-day Serengeti Migration Off-Road safari.
