Can I customize my safari itinerary with Lush Africa Safaris?

Yes. All Lush African Safaris are tailor-made based on your travel dates, interests, budget, and comfort level. We design itineraries that fit your exact preferences, from private journeys to luxury safari Kenya and Tanzania experiences.

What is included in a typical safari package?

Safari packages generally include accommodations, meals, park fees, game drives, airport transfers, and professional guides. International flights are not included unless specified. For special packages such as the best luxury Kenya safari or affordable Tanzania safari tours, inclusions may also feature added excursions and cultural activities.

How far in advance should I book my safari?

For peak season trips, gorilla trekking in Uganda, chimpanzee tracking, or unique experiences like a Serengeti hot air balloon safari, we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance to secure availability.

Do you offer both luxury and affordable safari options?

Yes. We provide a range of safaris, from luxury Uganda safaris and private adventures to affordable Tanzania safari tours and group itineraries. Whether you want high-end lodges or budget-friendly camps, we tailor the trip to your needs.

Can I combine multiple countries in one safari?

Absolutely. Many of our guests combine Masai Mara and Serengeti safari tours, or extend their journey to include Rwanda for the best Rwanda gorilla tours. We handle border crossings, flights, and logistics for a seamless journey.

Do I need a visa to travel to East Africa for safari?

Most visitors require visas. Countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda issue e-visas online or at entry points. Whether you’re planning a lush South Africa safari or a Kenya and Tanzania luxury safari, we provide guidance before your trip.

What vaccinations and health precautions are required?

Yellow fever vaccination may be required, and malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended. Travelers booking Rwanda safari group tours or Uganda treks should also consult their doctor about other routine travel vaccines.

What should I pack for a safari?

Bring lightweight neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy shoes, a rain jacket, binoculars, and a good camera. Layers are important for cool mornings, especially if you plan on joining a Kenya hot air balloon safari or a dawn drive during the African safari Great Migration.

Is travel insurance required for safari tours?

Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, cancellations, and lost luggage is highly recommended, especially for activities such as private safari Tanzania or a hot air balloon safari Serengeti.

Do I need prior experience for activities like gorilla trekking or hot air balloon rides?

No prior experience is needed. Gorilla trekking in Uganda requires moderate fitness, while experiences like hot air balloon safari Serengeti are guided by licensed and highly trained pilots.

Are safari tours safe?

Yes. All tours, including luxury safari Kenya and Tanzania and lush South Africa safari packages, are guided by trained professionals. Lodges follow strict safety protocols, and guests are briefed on wildlife etiquette and park rules.

What type of vehicles are used for game drives?

We use 4x4 safari vehicles designed for comfort, safety, and excellent wildlife viewing. Depending on the region, like the Serengeti for the Great Migration safari Tanzania or the Masai Mara, vehicles may be open-sided or have pop-top roofs.

Will I see the Big Five on safari?

Sightings depend on the park and season, but destinations like the Serengeti, Masai Mara, and Kruger during the African safari Great Migration offer excellent chances to see lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo.

Do you offer private safaris for couples, families, or groups?

Yes. We arrange private safari Tanzania experiences for couples, families, and small groups who want personalized itineraries with more flexibility.

Are children welcome on safari?

Many lodges are family-friendly and offer activities for children. Age restrictions may apply for certain experiences such as chimpanzee tracking in Uganda or gorilla trekking adventures.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, bank transfers, and secure online payment methods. Whether booking an affordable Tanzania safari tour or a luxury Uganda safari, deposit and balance policies are clearly outlined during booking.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations are subject to our terms and conditions. Some costs, like gorilla permits or hot air balloon bookings, are non-refundable. This applies to all safaris including Masai Mara and Serengeti safari tours. Travel insurance is recommended.

Do your safaris support conservation and local communities?

Yes. Our lush African safaris partner with eco-friendly lodges, support conservation programs, and employ local guides. This ensures that tourism benefits wildlife and local communities across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda.

Trip Overview

During this 3-day safari, you will be well looked after and see some of the best that Tanzania has to offer. You will experience breathtaking wildlife in the midst of some of the most diverse landscapes; monkeys in the forest, lions in trees, elephants among acacias, and a huge variety of animals inside a collapsed volcano. Not only will you visit Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, but also drive to the world-famous Rift Valley.

Trip Highlights

Day 1 (Arusha to Serengeti):
Day 2 (Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro):
Day 3 (Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha):

Day 01 :

Arusha to Serengeti

After an early breakfast, our driver-guide will drive you from Arusha to Serengeti National Park. You will experience the endless open plains and stunning skies of the Serengeti during the game drive. The drive is approximately 7 hours. You will arrive at Seronera Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay and be ready for the next day. Stay in budget camping.

3 Stars Hotel

Dinner

Day 02 :

Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro

You will have an early breakfast, followed by a sunrise game drive on the Serengeti plains. This drive offers the best opportunity to see lions, leopards, and other predators in action. The Serengeti offers a stunning sight as the rising sun seems to light a fire in the savannah.

Once in Serengeti, you will be amazed by a spectacular view while enjoying a picnic lunch on a small hill in an overall flat area. After lunch at the picnic area, it’s time to explore the endless plains of Serengeti. You will be amazed by the wide range of animals that wander Africa’s iconic savanna landscape en route to Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight. Budget camping on the crater rim.

Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner

Day 03 :

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After breakfast, we will begin our long-awaited excursion to the Ngorongoro Crater, considered by many to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you first gaze at this amazing caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you will realize why it has gained such modest popularity.

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to a variety of species including the Big Five and one of the prime destinations in the world. It’s the best place to spot the endangered black rhinoceros. Enjoy a meal close to the hippo pool, which offers a great view of the lake and the large number of hippos enjoying the cool water.

From the comfort of your open-roof 4×4 Land Cruiser (safari vehicle), you can photograph and observe some of the most recognizable faces. Ngorongoro is home to a good number of predators, including lions (Simba), leopards, wildebeests (nyumbu), zebras, antelopes, Cape buffalos, and many more.

Please note, this is a camping safari.
