They remain in the region until the beginning of December, when they follow the rains southward back into Serengeti National Park

Because of the size of its organization and volume of customers, we can easily include single travellers on most set date safari departures, subject to there being at least one other booking on the date chosen. There is a supplement to cover the additional cost of single accommodation. However, there is no single supplement (or a greatly reduced one) on most safaris in the low season months of April & May.

Yes. All safaris can be booked with the exclusive use of a vehicle for your party. A custom safari for two clients is significantly more expensive per person than seats on a similar small-group safari. However, on a custom safari with an exclusive vehicle, the cost of the vehicle and driver/ guide is divided by the number of clients sharing the vehicle. Therefore, the cost per person of a custom safari reduces the more clients that are sharing the vehicle (maximum in one vehicle is usually 7, but on request, such as for families with children, we can carry up to 8)
