Questions travellers ask us
How do I book?
Send a quote request or booking request through the website. We will confirm availability and send a written quote or booking summary. Your booking is confirmed once we confirm it in writing and any agreed deposit has been received.
Do I have to pay online?
No. Quote and booking requests on this website do not take payment. We send payment details and instructions by email after we have agreed the details with you.
When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?
Tanzania offers good wildlife viewing all year. The dry season from late June to October is the most popular because animals gather near water and roads are easier. January to March is excellent for calving herds in the southern Serengeti. The wetter months from April to May are quieter and greener. Tell us what you want to see and we will recommend the best timing.
How much does a Tanzania safari cost?
Prices depend on the length of the trip, the parks, the season, the type of accommodation and how many people are travelling. The "from" prices on our safari pages are a guide only. Send us a quote request and we will reply with a clear, itemised price for your dates.
Can you customise an itinerary?
Yes. Every safari we plan is tailor-made. You can change the length, swap accommodation styles, add a balloon flight, a Kilimanjaro climb or a Zanzibar beach extension. Start with a quote request and we will refine it with you.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Most visitors do need a visa. Requirements depend on your nationality and can change, so please check the official government website or your nearest embassy well before you travel.
