I have a couple of questions: 1) – I saw dates for your tour in months that would not be optimal in terms of seeing the wildebeest cross the Mara river – can you explain? We want to see the classic "great migration" of the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. My understanding it's in August, is that right? 2) – what is the price for having your own room – there will be two of us traveling, but we want our own rooms.

I can explain this by telling you that the clients can book this package any time as we can revise according to where the migration will be. But if the clients are specific interesting for wildebeest migration Mara river crossing then He or She supposed to book this package from end of July to September. Your very right, starting from end of July to September it is good time to be able to witness the great wildebeest migration Mara river crossing. Kindly find below on your itinerary I have provided two options Mid-range accommodation and Budget Camping accommodation with the price of your own room, you need to confirm as soon as possible so that we can secure your room for accommodation.

What is best time to do this safari?

The best time to witness this Migration is between July and September. For the Month of April you can witness wildebeest migration Calving season on Southern part of Serengeti (Ndutu Area).

A friend recommended SED Adventures to us after she booked a safari with them. From the very beginning I found SED Adventures very helpful. I had a million questions to ask and they always promptly replied with lots of helpful information. They organized a safari that was within our budget range and gave us a few itineraries to browse through, giving options. They organized everything all we needed was to book our international flights. The safari was very organized and everything was very efficient. The accommodation was surprisingly much better than I presumed for Africa, and we stayed in some fabulous lodges, especially the Roika tented lodge in Tarangirie. Our driver Apollo was always helpful and had a great deal of knowledge about all of the wildlife and local life. Nothing was too much for him , he catered to all of our needs. I would definitely recommend SED Adventures to anyone. They were friendly, reliable and organized. Show more
