Things to Do at Taasa Lodge

One of the greatest delights when visiting the Serengeti is witnessing the spectacle of the Great Migration, typically from June to October. Observe herds of wildebeest and zebras crossing rivers to find safe areas to raise their young. Embark on a game drive to explore the plains and get close to the animals inhabiting the area. Your knowledgeable guide will take you to prime spots for wildlife sightings and provide in-depth insights into the animals’ family dynamics. In addition to game drives, guests can enjoy bird watching and other nature-related activities.

Experience an amazing walking safari to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of the plains, offering a unique and immersive way to explore the landscape. Considered more personal than game drives, you’ll learn survival skills in the bush, including identifying medicinal plants, starting a fire, and possibly encountering wildlife. Children can engage in identifying wildlife through observing tracks and dung, along with other educational experiences. For a more extravagant exploration of the Serengeti, embark on a balloon safari. Glide through the skies, watching herds move across the valley before enjoying a delicious bush breakfast (additional cost). Alternatively, join a night safari, bundled in an open-top safari vehicle with blankets to keep warm under the starlit skies. Evening game drives reveal magnificent sights and the fascinating nocturnal creatures that roam the night.
