Questions and Answers
How do I book?
Send us an enquiry or a WhatsApp message with your dates and group size. We confirm the price in writing, and a 30% deposit secures your trip.
When do I pay the rest?
The balance is paid on arrival in Tanzania, before your trip starts.
Are the trips private?
Yes. Your group has its own vehicle and guide. The Mikumi day trip also has a shared option at a lower price when other guests book the same date.
Can children come?
Yes. Tell us their ages when you enquire so we can check the flights, the boat and the lodges. Prices for children are on request.
What should we wear?
Light clothes in neutral colours, a warm layer for early mornings, a hat and comfortable shoes. Bright white and dark blue are best avoided in the bush.
Is it safe?
Our guides know the parks and follow park rules. Stay in the vehicle unless your guide says otherwise, and follow the crew's instructions on the boat.
Do we need malaria tablets?
Malaria is present in Tanzania, including the coast and the southern parks. Ask your doctor or a travel clinic for advice before you travel.
What happens if a flight is delayed?
We adjust the day so you lose as little time in the park as possible. If a flight is cancelled, we arrange another plan with you.
Do you include tips?
No. Tipping is personal; if you are happy with your guide, a tip at the end of the trip is appreciated.
