For a good safari, you need several ingredients. A really good guide, a reliable vehicle, good accommodation and a well planned itinerary are the probably the most important elements.

A good guide is the most crucial person on your safari. Our guides have no less than ten years of experience, they speak fluent English and they know the national parks and roads like their own shirt pocket. Your guide will make sure you travel safely. He will also make your experience more profound by sharing his knowledge about the wildlife and culture.

Our vehicles are comfortable and well maintained. Good suspension, all the necessary equipment – these cars will get you through muddy patches and over rough roads.

If you want to travel to several different national parks and see different places and areas, you need to have a good itinerary which helps you to get the timing right. It is not fun to be on the road without break, rushing from one park to the next, never really stopping anywhere long enough. Instead, you need an itinerary that allows for enough time to be able appreciate every park you visit, and which helps to plan your travel logistics in such a way that you are not constantly, non-stop on the road, but have enough time to admire and relax.

We will take the time to get to know you and design a tailor made itinerary for you. We try to make sure that you get exactly the safari you want, and we take the time to answer your questions. Rather than imposing our ideas, we work together with you.

You may already have a rough idea of the places in Tanzania that you really want to see. Or perhaps you are not entirely sure yet. Just send us an email and let us know your initial starting ideas. Depending on your needs, we will then start by suggesting destinations that you could visit, or if you have already chosen destinations, we may advise you on how to best combine them.

We try to pay attention to the price range you choose and we try to build an itinerary around your preferences and interests. An individual itinerary is certainly preferable to being tied in with a group schedule, and it also allows for a certain amount of spontaneity and flexibility.

Tanzania is a safe country to travel in. Tanzanians are warm-hearted and generous people and are eager to help and assist visitors. As in all countries, a little common sense goes a long way and reasonable precautions should still be taken, such as locking valuables in the hotel safe, do not carry a lot of camera equipment especially in the major cities, do not wear too much jewellery, do not carry large amounts of cash.

Guides will monitor your safety in cities and in the game areas. From time to time generalized travel statements are issued concerning travel conditions in the area.

It is best to drink bottled water when travelling through Tanzania – numerous brands are widely available and served in all restaurants and lodges.

The official unit of currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS), divided into 100 cents. Notes are issued as TSh10,000; 5,000; 2,000 and 1,000. Coins are issued as TSh500; 200; 100 and 50. The tourism industry prices everything in US Dollars and they are the preferred unit of currency. ATMs are available in all cities. Major lodges, some hotels and travel agents in urban areas accept credit cards, but these should not be relied on and can incur a 10% surcharge.
