ADVICE OF SERENGETI PLEASE

Post by steamtrainfan »

Hi everybody. My wife and I are thinking of going to Serengeti in June 2018.

When is the best time to go?
Which tour company to use?
Can one include Chobe in the tour?
Do we need visas with SA passports?

Any other information that will help us will be appreciated.

Uh, oh, that's going to be a toughie, stf... Don't think we've got many experts on the Serengeti O-/

But please share your experiences after your trip, because I might just take advantage of it lol

You probably know that we're not campers. So I never looked into that for the Serengeti.
But whatever else is on offer, was a reason not to visit 0*\ And no self-catering as far as I know.
At least not if you're not camping. And then I don't know if that is even an option.

So, please share whatever you find out \O

Serengeti... wow, what a super place to spend birthday or something else O/\ O/\ O/\

have a look at Ngorongoro... on the way ..0..

I was there several years ago, so my advise is a bit too old.
I was in camping, lodges are expensive, with all the logistic stuff and staff following me (us) :yes:
