Will I definitely see the Big Five on this safari?

While all five species inhabit these parks, sightings are never guaranteed in the wild. The Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater offer strong odds, but luck and timing play a role. Your experienced guide will maximise encounter chances.

What's included in the EUR 10,017 price?

The price covers 11 nights in private lodges, all game drives, expert guide services, and cross-border transport between Kenya and Tanzania. Confirm whether meals, park fees, and international flights are included when booking.

How many parks do we visit?

You visit five major parks: Maasai Mara (Kenya), Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara (all Tanzania).

Is this a group tour or private?

This is a private lodge safari, meaning you'll have a dedicated jeep and guide, though lodges may have other guests. It's more personalised than shared group tours but differs from fully private vehicle arrangements.

What rare species might I see?

Beyond the Big Five, you have good chances of spotting black rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, and flamingos, particularly in Ngorongoro Crater and around Lake Manyara's alkaline waters.

Do I need specific visas or vaccinations?

Visas are required for both Kenya and Tanzania (typically obtainable on arrival or in advance). Yellow fever vaccination is recommended; consult your doctor. Your operator can advise on current entry requirements.

our guide Yuki had so many stories and a leopard up a tree near the river was the highlight, and honestly better than the safari we did in Bali last year, 10/10

our guide Fatima had so many stories and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight, and perfect for first-timers, and we saw 4 of the big five in one day.

our guide Fatima really knew their stuff and a pride of lions right at dawn was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and we saw 4 of the big five in one day.
