Popular questions about Tanzania Safari

Response:
We know that a good night’s sleep is really important when you’re travelling. We carefully select each night’s stay to balance comfort with location.
Where you stay will depend on what’s available in the places you visit – we choose the accommodation to suit the trip, rather than the other way around.
Our group accommodation will always be clean, comfortable, and well located for your journey.

Response:
Our small group adventures are ideal for solo travelers – around half of the travelers in our groups are usually travelling on their own. Our carefully-planned itineraries and expert leaders mean you can relax in the knowledge that everything is taken care of.

Response:
Absolutely – in fact, we recommend taking a suitcase or bag on wheels to make it easier to transport. You won’t have to carry it far but you’ll want it light enough to carry during your
safari.

Response:
All sorts of people travel on our small group tours. Our expert consultants can share details on the breakdown of the group so far – the number of couples vs solo travellers, for example, and the age range of the group. Our average group size is big enough to meet like-minded people but small enough to get right to the heart of our destination.

Response:
Everyone travels differently so we’ve graded our trips according to pace. Some travellers like to have time to relax and enjoy the view. Our ‘Relaxed’ trips build in plenty of down time, with opportunity to immerse yourself in the local surroundings. ‘Moderate’ trips combine fuller days with some down time too, while ‘Full On’ trips have mostly busy days and some early starts, but all trips are full of amazing experiences. You can opt-out of certain activities if you feel you need some additional down time.

Response:
Food is a great way to learn more about a destination. We try to keep meals flexible wherever possible, opting for Bed & Breakfast accommodation rather than half or full board. This way you have flexibility to eat where and when you want, and to explore the culture and cuisine of your destination under your own steam.

Our local tour leaders are always on-hand to make their recommendations, and of course you can choose to eat with all or some of your group, your travelling companion or on your own. The choice is yours.
