Good to Know
Amanzoe
- The beach club and hillside pavilions are a genuine shuttle ride apart — factor that into how you plan your days.
- About 2.5 hours by car from Athens, or a shorter transfer via the resort's private helicopter option.
- Best May through October; many facilities scale back or close over winter.
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti
- The Great Migration typically passes near the lodge between roughly May and July, and again for the calving season January–March — worth building a trip around either window.
- Fly-in access via light aircraft to the Kogatende or Seronera airstrips is standard; road transfers from Arusha run 6+ hours.
- Game drives and a resident naturalist programme are included in the nightly rate, unusually for the region.
