Good to know

Before you go.

Your quote confirms availability, stays, connections and inclusions. Wildlife sightings and weather vary.

How will we travel and explore?

This is a small-group fly-in journey using SkySafari aircraft, with shared daytime 4×4 game drives. Transfers and the final international connection are arranged around the departure itinerary. Exclusive aircraft buy-out or vehicle use can be requested, with availability and supplements confirmed separately.

How is the Serengeti stay chosen?

Your safari base is selected for your travel dates, route and availability. Ask for the proposed accommodation and location in your written itinerary before booking. Wildlife movements vary naturally, and neither a particular sighting nor a migration river crossing can be promised.

What luggage can we bring?

SkySafari’s published total allowance is 23 kg per person: up to 20 kg in a soft checked bag plus 3 kg of hand baggage. Connecting airlines may apply different limits, so check every flight in your final itinerary before packing.

What should the written quote cover?

The supplier outline lists domestic flights, full-board stays, selected drinks, laundry, transfers and specified activities. Ask for an itemised quote that clearly identifies park and conservancy fees. International flights, visas, tips, premium drinks, private vehicles and optional experiences should also be addressed. Final-day lunch and a day room depend on timing and availability.
