Question 1

How much does a Tanzania safari cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on your travel dates, safari style, number of travellers and the parks included. Camping safaris are the most affordable, mid-range lodges sit in the middle, and luxury camps are the highest. Send us your dates and preferences on WhatsApp and we will send current, accurate pricing.

Question 2

How much does a Kenya safari cost?

Accepted Answer

Kenya pricing follows the same pattern — season, accommodation level, park fees and group size all matter. Peak migration months in the Maasai Mara are the most expensive. We quote current rates for your exact itinerary on request.

Question 3

What is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Accepted Answer

June to October is the classic dry season with excellent game viewing across the northern circuit. January to March is superb in the southern Serengeti during the calving season. The Ngorongoro Crater rewards visitors year-round.

Question 4

What is the best time to visit Kenya?

Accepted Answer

July to October is the peak Maasai Mara season, when migrating herds are in Kenya. January to February is also excellent and quieter. Kenya offers good wildlife viewing throughout the year.

Question 5

When is the Great Migration?

Accepted Answer

The migration is a continuous, year-round cycle. Calving typically takes place in the southern Serengeti around January to March, herds move north through the western corridor around May to July, river crossings usually occur between July and September, and herds return south from around late October.

Question 6

How many days should I spend on safari?

Accepted Answer

Three days is enough for a short escape, five to seven days suits the classic northern circuit or Kenya's main parks, and eight days or more allows a relaxed pace or a multi-country journey.

Question 7

Can I book a private safari?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Private safaris include your own 4x4 vehicle and guide, and the itinerary is planned entirely around your interests and pace.

Question 8

Do you offer budget camping safaris?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our camping safaris use established campsites with proper equipment, cooked meals and experienced crew — an authentic, adventurous and affordable way to experience the wilderness.

Question 9

Do you offer luxury safaris?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with premium lodges and luxury tented camps, private guiding and, where you prefer, light aircraft transfers between parks.

Question 10

Can I customize my safari?

Accepted Answer

Every itinerary on this website is a starting point. Tell us what you would like to change — duration, parks, accommodation level, pace or dates — and we will rebuild it around you.

Question 11

Can I combine Tanzania and Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tanzania and Kenya combine well, typically linking the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with the Maasai Mara. We handle the border or flight arrangements.

Question 12

Can I combine a Tanzania safari with Uganda gorilla trekking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A northern Tanzania safari pairs naturally with gorilla trekking in Bwindi, connected by regional flights.

Question 13

Can I combine Kenya with Rwanda?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nairobi connects easily to Kigali, making a Maasai Mara safari plus Rwanda gorilla trekking one of the most time-efficient combinations in East Africa.

Question 14

How does gorilla trekking work?

Accepted Answer

You begin with an early briefing at the park headquarters and are allocated to a habituated gorilla family with a small group and ranger team. Trekking can take from under an hour to several hours through forest terrain, and time with the gorillas is limited to protect them.

Question 15

How much does gorilla trekking cost?

Accepted Answer

Gorilla permit prices are set by the national authorities in Uganda and Rwanda and can change. We always quote the current official permit cost separately from the tour price, so nothing is hidden.

Question 16

What should I pack for a safari?

Accepted Answer

Neutral-coloured layers, a warm fleece for early mornings, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera with spare batteries and any personal medication. Soft bags are best if light aircraft flights are included.

Question 17

What should I pack for gorilla trekking?

Accepted Answer

Sturdy waterproof hiking boots, long trousers and long sleeves, a rain jacket, gardening-style gloves for vegetation, a daypack, water and a camera without flash.

Question 18

Can you arrange airport transfers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Airport transfers can be included in any itinerary, in all four countries we operate in.

Question 19

Can you arrange accommodation before or after my safari?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly arrange extra nights in Arusha, Nairobi, Entebbe, Kigali and on the coast or in Zanzibar before or after a safari.
