Safari summary

Our Senior Citizen safari programs are designed according to the participant preference and each case will be treated different. This is a fully client motivated customized safari program with us only giving recommendations.

The Senior Citizen safari can also be enhanced by incorporating scheduled or charter flight(At additional Cost) to remote and exclusive destinations away from the normal tourist circuits.

The safari lodges and camps are in remote exclusive places, have less than 20 guests and if they have more, we get the best room for you. Being senior citizen members only safari, it will not have unnecessary noise on your holiday and this makes it even more fulfilling. The quiet atmosphere will be at a maximum, giving you quality time on your holiday vacation. To make it even more memorable we have fly camps which will be operated by our own made staffs.

When we have requests for senior citizen safaris, we like to design trips to meet our guest’s specifications and individual requirements. For example, if you have difficulty walking we will provide comfortable wheelchair or have an aversion for long road trips, need frequent comfort stops or have dietary restrictions, we’ll accommodate your needs.

This park is the largest in Tanzania and has a diversity of habitats and landscapes – short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps and lakes. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen.

Day 4

Serengeti

Day 4 - 5: Full Days at Serengeti National Park The entire two full days is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best.
