Thanks for contacting African Scenic Safaris, we are operating safari in Tanzania only, I can see you have ask for Grand African Tour of which cover the subsaharan countries. If you were thinking about Tanzania, February is definitely the best time to visit and get closer to over 3 millions of wildebeest dropping babies everywhere together with over 4 hundreds of zebra and gazelles, while predator are waiting for easy catch, all this in the southern Serengeti National park, which has been voted the best wildlife destination in the world. It's one of the world Nature wonders and one not to miss, to experience this we will recommend not less than 5days on Northen Tanzania which will includes visiting nearby park like Ngorongoro Crater. Looking forward to hear from you. Regards Simbo Natai

Q:
Hello! I am looking to get information on a safari! Can someone please contact me at..... themillersonthemove@gmail .... I would like the following questions answered 1) We will be starting our safari Sept 27, 2019, and would prefer it to be a 4 day safari ending on the 30th. We want to be in the correct area to 100% see the wildebeest migration? that is our #1priority for us to picking the perfect safari. 2) is there a fly in OR fly out option? if so how much more does that cost? (we are okay with one way driving and one way flying. just trying to use are time wisely while still not going way over budget. :) 3) if it is possible to fly in OR fly out.... we will be coming from Nairobi and after the safari heading to Kigali. Is it possible to fly into the serengeti in Tanzania from Nairobi Kenya? OR from the Serengeti to Kigali? or do we HAVE to fly into mt Kilimanjaro/arusha? 4) what are the accommodation options 5) Is there Wifi at the accommodations that we will be staying or do you know if there is Verizon reception around camp? We will need some sort of reception to check in with work. 6) we would like this to be a 4 day safari starting on Sept 27th ending on Sept 30th. Excited to hear back from you!! :) thank you, Bethany

Sounds like you are trying to customize an off-the-rack safari. - You can fly into an airport directly in the center of the Serengeti, near (2km) to the Visitors Center. There are no hotels or services at the airport, a single lodge is adjacent to that visitors center. I am sure the lodge can arrange a custom tour of the Serengeti. Good Luck. - Nobody can sell you a ticket in advance to the Wildebeest migration. The time and route vary each year based on climate and factors known to the wildebeests. Tour guides and operators are all licensed, they are not going to take you off the road, or allow you out of the vehicle in any remote location just because the migration is going on. - The drivers from all of the companies stay in touch by radio and let each other know where the lions are mating, which kopje has the leopard baby visible, when the hippos are leaving their mud hole, and where ever the migrating wildebeests or zebras are crossing the road or stream. There is probably not enough to see for four days in the Serengeti - unless you have a special pass for National Geographic or BBC. They get to set up and wait for hours or days if necessary. What most visitors do is a half day in Terangire National Park, 2.5 days in Serengeti, at least a day in Ngorogoro Crater N.P. The last one is the most guaranteed place to see wildlife, its a closed crater and a million animals to wander around. Also consider visiting Olduvai in the Serengeti. - Most of the guide companies are set up outside the parks, and live in Arusha or Moshi. You will still have to pay for the day for them to drive in to meet you and then drive back. You might as well join them for the Safari Massage (bumpy drive) and enjoy the side trips, visits, Maasai boma, et cetera. I stil suggest starting with Mary at African Scenic. She customized Kilimanjaro an dSerengeti trips for two groups (oldsters/millennials) and everything went great. If you want to summit Kilimanjaro you can be on the mountain the day the plane lands at Kili airport, and on a flight out after 6PM the day you come down. - There is no way to do that for the Wildebeest migration and the Serengeti. Those amazing NatGeo pictures are rare sights and captured by people with permission to camp remotely. There are a handful of campgrounds in the Serengeti, African Scenic suggested it was best to camp in tents nearest wherever the animals are in a very large park. The alternative is a single centrally located lodge which will require you to get up at 3AM instead of the 6AM to catch the morning predators and sights. Upvote please if this was useful.

I traveled with African Scenic Safaris on a 4 day 3 night "Short and Sweet" safari and it was perfect. We spent the first night at Lake Manyara, the second night in the Serengeti, and the third night in the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw all kinds of wildlife, including the big five and many others. We saw at least 20 lions. We had the option of visiting a maasai village, but did not choose to stop and visit, so I can not speak to that. For a 4 day safari, we felt the trip and itinerary were excellent and plenty of time. We enjoyed our guide and loved the food.

The best thing to do would be to email Amanda with your budget and she can tell you what is possible. TripAdvisor won’t let me post an email - but go to their website and contact them there!
