Tarangire National Park Day Tour — Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to see the Mara River migration crossing?
The Great Migration herds typically occupy the Northern Serengeti and attempt Mara River crossings between July and October. During the rest of the year, herds move south toward the Central Serengeti and Ndutu plains.
Why is the accommodation on Day 1 & Day 2 near Kogatende / the Mara River?
For a fly-in migration crossing itinerary landing in the north, staying at a camp near Kogatende keeps driving times to the river under 45 minutes, compared to a 3-4 hour drive each way from camps further west.
How much luggage can I bring on the internal bush flight?
Domestic flights to Serengeti airstrips generally enforce a strict luggage limit of 15 kg (33 lbs) per person in soft-sided duffel bags to fit inside aircraft cargo compartments.
What type of vehicle is used during the safari?
You will travel in a custom-built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser fitted with a pop-up roof for 360-degree photography, charging ports for electronics, a built-in refrigerator for cold drinking water, and an HF radio for wildlife tracking.
