Exciting Balloon Safaris

One of the best and romantic ways to experience the wilderness of East Africa in Tanzanie and amazing landscapes in other regions including Kenya is through balloon safaris. Balloon safaris provides you with a silent and graceful view of wildlife as you fly over the plains filled with herds in the morning. The balloon safaris usually starts at 6am and lasts for about 1 to two hours, this safaris provides you with the opportunity to capture a magnificent view of wildlife over several kilometers from the game park. The balloon safaris are regularly held only in the Serengeti and it usually takes off from designated sites such as the Seronera area where there will be a limited disturbance of animals, you will be dropped off by your safari vehicle at the take-off site and the safari vehicle will also pick you up from the landing site. You will definitely be treated to a wonderful breakfast in the bush to make your safaris a complete and memorable experience.

 

Birding Safaris

The wide expanses of the East and Southern Africa is indeed a paradise for birders. There is something for everyone, while there are sufficient bird activities to occupy the amateur birdwatching fanatic from the very moment they touch down, there is also an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the company of serious and impressive guides. There are guides that have developed a great knowledge of birds as a special field of interest, that they have become very familiar with the common bird guide books and they can actually name the page with each bird that is sighted.

This also saves you the time that would have been used in leafing through the indexes. Pathfinder Safaris will provide you with birding guides that are highly trained in ornithology, it is a wonderful and worthwhile experience to have a company to share your enthusiasm with while capturing moments that will leave you breathless for a moment.

There are some important information to note while embarking on wildlife safaris, the ladies, please don’t forget your sports bra considering the rough ride.

The early morning and late afternoon game drives, provide tourists with the best opportunity for game viewing.

The early morning game drive normally starts around 6am and will usually end around 8:30 am when visitors return for breakfast. Almost all camps and lodges will provide tea, biscuits, and coffee for visitors

En-Route Game Drive

Mostly, en-route game drives usually take place either in the morning or late afternoon. Just as the name implies, it is performed en-route to a camp, a lodge etc. The average duration of en-route safaris varies widely based on the journey that is undertaken. It can also be a very short drive that starts from the camp or lodge to the park exit and vice versa.

The All Day Game Drive

Just as the name implies, the all day game drive actually lasts all day and usually, lunch is provided for visitors. The drive starts with breakfast around 7:30 am and the trip will end around 6pm to 6:30pm which is a fully loaded trip with so much fun and experience of amazing wildlife activities. All day game drives usually take place in large reserves or parks where you have a great distance to cover and also to avoid paying dual entry fees like the case of Ngorongoro Crater.

Budget Safari Lodges

In Tanzania, you will get different ranges of safari resorts and hotels, from larger ones to smaller and more exclusive ones.

However, regardless of where you stay, you will get a safaris experience of a lifetime.

One of the popular safaris options in Tanzania is using a driver-guide rather than flying to the safari lodge of your choice, it helps tourists to also reduce their cost. Pathfinder Safaris Inc. will help you with a private driver-guide that will serve as your professional guide for the duration of the safari. Although it may sound expensive, you will reduce the cost of return flights and you can also book less expensive full board rate that is offered by most camps and safari lodges and this includes only accommodation and meals.
