Serengeti Babies and Predators in Their Masses: 20 January 2018 Small Group Departure

November 14, 2017Animals, Camps, East Africa, Serengeti, Small group departures, Specials, Tanzania, Tanzania SafarisBy Teriksha

Fresh air and dramatic skies over lush, endless plains teeming with predators and dotted with millions of baby wildebeest and zebra is the definition of the Serengeti in late January.

It’s the start of the short rains and the calving season. Less crowded and more affordable, this is one of our very favourite seasons.

Join us on 20 January 2018 on an exclusive, small group departure bringing you the highlights of Tanzania’s wildlife and national parks.

We support the Serengeti De-snaring Programme

Due to the simplicity and low cost of snares, snaring is a favoured method by poachers. The Serengeti National Park (SNP) runs its own de-snaring programme. With assistance from the Frankfurt Zoological Society and tour operators in the Serengeti, one 8-man team operates in the SNP. Between April and October 2017, 7,331 snares have been removed – showing just how pervasive these snares are.

From December 1st 2017, Wild Frontiers will donate 1 USD per bed night at all our camps in the Serengeti. We don’t cut corners when it comes to our guests, and we don’t compromise on protecting the environments in which we operate. By choosing to stay with us, you will be contributing significantly to the Serengeti’s de-snaring programme.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding. In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall. He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well. He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour. We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.
Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.
Sincerely

Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much! I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.
Thanks so much!

It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂
Best regards,
