Questions About 6-Day Classic Wilderness Blend

How much of this journey is travelled by road?

The route uses a private Land Cruiser between Tarangire, Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Karatu, Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha. Transfer days remain part of the safari, but the guide balances stopping time against gate conditions and the distance to the named overnight. We do not publish invented drive times because road, weather and wildlife conditions can change the practical pace.

How much time does the route give the Serengeti?

Approximately 2 day entries involve the Serengeti ecosystem, including the specific central, northern or Grumeti sectors shown. That count includes arrival or transfer days where relevant, so the day-by-day plan is the best guide to full game-drive time. Wildlife and migration events remain naturally variable.

Can Zanzibar be added after this safari?

A Zanzibar extension can be quoted as a clearly separate addition after the final safari movement. It is not silently included in this safari-only price. We would confirm the domestic flight, coast, resort and meal plan independently so the extension does not alter the named safari accommodation sequence.

How are the seasonal prices applied?

Use the row matching your travel period and the column matching the stated party size. Prices are per person sharing in US dollars. We reconfirm room configuration and availability before booking. The final proposal confirms the correct rooming basis and current availability before payment.
