Frequently Asked Questions About a 3-Day Fly-in and Out Safari
How long is the flight to Serengeti from Zanzibar or Arusha?
Flights departing from either Zanzibar or Arusha to the Seronera Airstrip, located in the heart of the Serengeti, typically take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The exact duration of your journey may vary based on the specific flight route chosen and any potential stopovers along the way.
What’s the luggage limit on bush flights?
When it comes to most domestic flights, travelers should be aware that there is typically a luggage limit of 15 kilograms, which is equivalent to 33 pounds. Additionally, it is important to note that only soft-sided duffel bags are permitted; hard-shell suitcases are not allowed.
Will I see the Great Migration on this safari?
If you plan to embark on a journey between the months of July and October, you will most likely witness the breathtaking river crossings that take place in the Northern Serengeti. This is a spectacular event that draws many travelers eager to experience the wonders of nature. Conversely, if your travel dates fall between December and March, you will be able to witness the calving season in the Southern Serengeti, a truly remarkable sight. Based on your specific travel dates, we will provide you with recommendations for the best airstrip and camp to enhance your experience.
Is this safari private or shared?
All game drives are exclusively private, providing an intimate experience tailored just for you, unless you opt to join a group safari, which can help lower costs. Choosing a private safari not only enhances your adventure but also offers greater flexibility and comfort throughout your journey in the wild.
Can I connect this with a beach holiday?
Absolutely! This carefully crafted itinerary is ideal for travelers who are either beginning or concluding their adventure in the beautiful destination of Zanzibar. We can seamlessly coordinate your beach stay, ensuring that it perfectly aligns with your safari experience, whether you choose to relax before embarking on your safari or unwind afterward.
🐾 Can I add a hot air balloon safari to this trip?
Absolutely! You can enhance your adventure by adding a breathtaking hot air balloon safari over the stunning Serengeti for an additional fee. This unforgettable experience includes an early morning flight that allows you to witness the magnificent landscape from above, followed by a delightful champagne breakfast served in the heart of the bush. To commemorate your journey, you will also receive a special balloon certificate. Due to the limited availability of this unique experience, we highly recommend making your reservations well in advance to secure your spot.
👨👩👧 Is this safari suitable for families with children?
Yes, it is important to note that children under the age of 5 may face restrictions on participating in certain game drives or bush flights, depending on the specific policies of the operator you choose. However, there is good news! Family tents and tailored activities can be organized to ensure a memorable experience for your family. We encourage you to inquire about these options when making your booking to ensure everything is arranged to your satisfaction.
💵 Are tips included in the price?
No. Tips are not included but are customary and greatly appreciated. A suggested guideline is $10–$20 per day for your guide and $5–$10 per day for lodge staff, depending on your satisfaction and group size.
