What is included in the 3-day safari price?

The EUR 1,206+ package includes accommodation, meals, game drives in both Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and transportation between sites. Confirm gratuities, park entrance fees, and travel to/from Arusha separately.

Will I definitely see the Big Five?

Both Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are known for Big Five populations, but wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Your experienced guide maximises chances through knowledge of animal behaviour and migration patterns; sightings depend on season, weather, and luck.

How many people travel in the group?

Group safaris typically accommodate 4–8 participants. Confirm exact group size and composition when you book to understand the shared experience and vehicle setup.

Is this safari physically demanding?

You'll spend 5–7 hours daily in open-sided vehicles on unpaved roads, requiring ability to climb in/out easily and tolerate dust and heat. It's suitable for most fitness levels but not for those with severe mobility restrictions.

What's the difference between Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?

Serengeti is a vast, open plain famous for wildebeest migration (seasonal) and roaming predators; Ngorongoro Crater is a collapsed volcanic caldera with concentrated wildlife in a smaller, enclosed area, offering frequent sightings in a compact space.

Should I book during a specific season?

Dry season (June–October and January–February) offers the best Big Five sightings, easiest driving, and clearest skies. Avoid April–May (long rains) when roads are difficult and wildlife disperses. Shoulder months (November–December, March) balance fewer crowds with decent wildlife viewing.

About this activity

This curated journey offers genuine opportunities to encounter Africa's Big Five in their natural habitat, mixing adventure with expert-led game viewing.

Join a Group and get to visit the Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro crater where we will spot the Big 5 Game.

✓Immersive wildlife photography opportunities in diverse ecosystems

Insider tips

★Book during dry season (June–October or January–February) for best Big Five sightings and easier game drives
★Arrive in Arusha a day early to acclimatise; the safari begins immediately and pacing is demanding
★Bring binoculars and a telephoto lens—wildlife often appears distant; guides spot animals you'll initially miss
★Pack layers: mornings and evenings are cool despite daytime heat, especially at crater elevation

•Pickup from Arusha town or airport available; confirm meeting point when booking

our guide Aiko couldnt do enough for us and a pride of lions right at dawn was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar safari we tried in Rome.

our guide Carla was nice enough, but a leopard up a tree near the river felt a bit rushed honestly. Last day of the trip. Not as good as the one we did in rome tbh. Bit disappointed ngl, we saw 4 of the big five in one day, 10/10
