Frequently Asked Questions
Tanzania offers excellent wildlife viewing year-round. The dry season (June to October) is ideal as animals gather near water sources making game viewing easier. The short dry season (January to March) is great for bird watching and the calving season. For the Great Migration river crossings, plan for July to October in Northern Serengeti. Contact us to discuss the best time for your specific interests.

A standard 4x4 Land Cruiser comfortably seats 6–7 guests in the back plus the driver-guide in front. For larger groups of 8–16, we use two vehicles travelling together, with two guides. This maintains the private experience while accommodating everyone. Larger groups of 17+ can also be arranged with a fleet of vehicles.
Group pricing is calculated as total vehicle cost divided by the number of guests. The more people sharing one vehicle, the lower the cost per person.
