You bet they are. Tanzania is one of Africaโ€™s most stable countries. Youโ€™ll be welcomed by its friendly people and always taken care of by attentive staff. After full days of wildlife viewing, rest up at handpicked camps and lodges, which offer authentic African charm and modern-day conveniences.

We provide free bottled water at all camps and during all wildlife-viewing drives. You can also purchase bottled water at all lodges.

There are more bugs in many places in the U.S. than you will encounter on safari! As in North America, deet-based repellents and citronelle-based products work well if you encounter mosquitoes or other small insects..

For medical advice, itโ€™s always best to consult your doctor. Most travelers receive a vaccination for yellow fever and ant malarial pills. Keep in mind that youโ€™ll be staying in camps and lodges designed to accommodate American and European guests.

Northern Tanzania! Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, has one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in the world. The vast plains of Serengeti National Park also host a myriad of wildlife, especially during the wildebeest migration.!

All kinds! You will see the animals youโ€™ve always dreamed of encountering on safariโ€”zebra, elephant, hippo, giraffe, lion, warthog, wildebeest, and so much more.

Tanzania has the best year-round wildlife viewing, and we adjust our itineraries, departure dates, and accommodations based on wildlife migration patterns. In Tanzania, any time is a wonderful time to be on safari. Of course, there are seasonal variations, but youโ€™ll always see a lot of animals.

The Great Migration is a year-round phenomenon where vast herds of mammals, mainly wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra, move around the Serengeti in search of food and water. The driving force of the migration is rain, making it difficult to predict.

Hakuna matata! No worries! Plenty of awe-inspiring moments present themselves whenever you travel in Tanzania. Even if you donโ€™t happen to see the Great Migration, youโ€™ll still see an abundance of wildlife.

We recommend booking as far in advance as possible to ensure your spot. This is especially important for travelers booking private safaris or adding extensions to their trips.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for your safari deposit. The remaining balance to be paid on your arravial

Your safari land packages will include all accommodations, meals, bottled water with meals and on wildlife-viewing drives, airport transfers, park fees, and services of guides and drivers. Additional costs not provided may include: tips for your guides/drivers/staff, bar beverages, laundry service, phone calls, passport and visa fees, souvenirs, and travel insurance (if you choose to purchase). Please note: Your pre-departure packet includes a visa application form and information on travel insurance and tipping.

Many of our trips provide opportunities to visit local villages and interact with the people. However, if your itinerary does not include these visits, youโ€™ll still gain valuable local insight from your expert guide, a native of Tanzania.

The delicious cuisines of Tanzania are a tasty yet amazing blend of the best of Swahili flavours with the best western, Arabic, and Indian cuisines. With the many foreign rulers and travellers who visited this country in the past (as the country was part of the Silk-route), the taste of almost every culture is experienced in Tanzanian food. We will provide you with personalised taste of Vegetarian, Vegan, Dairy-free, Gluten-free and other special dietary needs that can be accommodated with advance intimation.

Absolutely. Just contact us to start the process. Weโ€™ll listen to your needs and give expert recommendations based on your interests, timeline, and budget. Leave the details to us!
