Safari Questions

Questions About This Safari

Is 2 days really enough for two parks?

Yes for a taste of each - you won't exhaust either park's highlights, but you'll get a genuine game drive in both rather than just driving through.

Is this a good pre- or post-Kilimanjaro add-on?

Yes, its short length makes it easy to fit before a Kilimanjaro climb or after a longer trip.

Can this be extended?

Yes, ask about extending to include Ngorongoro or the Serengeti.
