All our prices are quoted in US dollars (US$) per person and in general include park entrance fees, conservation fees, camping/hut/lodge costs, full board/a cook, English speaking driver/mountain guides, porters on treks, 4×4 vehicle on safari, staff and vehicle fees, unlimited game viewing within park opening hours and permit validity.
Once the final programme is sent to you for your approval, please read carefully what is included/ excluded in your tour.
As of 1st July 2016 all tourism services (including park fees!) are no longer exempted from the value added tax (VAT); therefore, 18% VAT is applicable and will be included in the final price of your programme.
Items of personal nature (e.g. toiletries, phone calls, souvenirs, etc), additional drinks/ meals/ accommodation/ transfers/ tours/ stop-overs, insurance, tipping and gratuities to the crew are not included in our prices.
Gratuities are not included in our prices, but are expected; an amount of the tip depends on your appreciation of the received services. An estimation of 5-10% of the total you have paid for your tour can be considered as a tip to the crew. In general, one can say that 30 US$ per day is an average tip for a guide and 20 US$ per day for a cook. A porter 10 US$ per day. Given amounts are for the group, not per person, and you can always give more.
Certainly. We have prepared special rates for larger groups. Since the discount depends on the tours you have chosen, please contact us for additional information.
If you are flexible about departure dates and itineraries, we could sign you up to one of our groups with other people who have already booked.
Definitely. The percentage of the discount however, depends on the tours you have chosen. Please, contact us for more information.
Once you have agreed on a specific tour and the price, a 25%-50% deposit payment (bank transfer or CreditCard payment) will be required. Your booking will be confirmed upon receiving your deposit, and a confirmation of receipt sent to you via e-mail. The deposit will be used to make all the necessary reservations. If not agreed otherwise, the remaining balance is due 30 days prior the start of your tour. See more in Terms & Conditions.
In town, there are several ATM machines and several banks where you can exchange local currency Tanzanian shillings TZS into foreign currency US$ if you choose to use your DebitCard or CreditCard (Visa or MasterCard) at any of the ATMs. Please note that you can only withdraw local currency; amount is usually limited up to 400.000 TZS (about 200 US$) per withdraw but you can withdraw several times depending on your daily Card limit. Please also note, that US$ cash notes older than 2006 are not accepted in Tanzania and that exchange rate is higher for 50 and 100 US$ notes compared to 20, 10, 5, 1 US$ notes.
The Euro (as any other »hard« currency) can be exchanged into Tanzanian Shillings (Tsh) and/or US$ at any bank or exchange office; however, the exchange rate will be less favourite since Euro is not used for any of the local payments.
The fastest way is by flying; a direct domestic flight to Zanzibar will take approximately one hour and we can do all the necessary bookings for you. If you choose a luxury coach, it will take approximately nine hours to reach Dar es Salaam and another three hours by ferry. Since the last ferry departs from Dar es Salaam early in the afternoon, you will probably have to stay overnight.
Take precaution as you would in any unfamiliar area. Do not walk alone after dark, do not show off your valuables, and do not leave your drink on the table when you go to the toilet.
Follow the dress code; do not wear skimpy outfits and do not show your cleavage, it will only bring unwanted attention. In Muslim areas (especially in the cities in Zanzibar) as well as in remote villages, cover your knees and shoulders. For some reason, locals get excited when they see women in tight trousers/shorts. Tight capri pants are not a good idea unless you crave for attention and men whistling and shouting.
Be firm but polite when saying no to an invitation (and you can expect many invitations to the disco and even marriage proposals!).
Be smart, and avoid uncomfortable situations.
And most important of all – do not walk around with constant fear; the chances that something bad will happen are very low! So, enjoy your holiday and relax!

The use of drones is not allowed unless a special advance permit is approved by the Tanzanian Ministry of Defense. Without requested permit, drones can be confiscated at the point of entry. Drones are strictly prohibited inside the national parks!
It is highly recommended you bring (or buy locally) a re-fillable water bottle, especially if you are climbing Kilimanjaro (at least two 1-liter re-usable water bottles), as single use plastics, and especially single use plastic water bottles, are strictly not allowed on the mountain.
Also, the Government of Tanzania issued an official notice to all travelers planning to visit Tanzania that from 1st June 2019 all plastic carrier bags, regardless of their thickness will be prohibited from being imported, exported, manufactured, sold, stored, supplied and used in Tanzania. However, plastic or plastic packaging for medical services, industrial products, construction industry, agricultural sector, foodstuff, sanitary and waste management are not prohibited. Visitors are advised to avoid carrying any plastic carrying bags in all their luggage (checked-in and carry-on) before embarking on a visit to Tanzania. Read notice here.
Actually it depends on where you are going and your means of transport. If you have chosen a lodge safari and flying between the mainland and the coast, a suitcase would be acceptable otherwise bring a backpack. Some air charters limit their baggage to 15 kg maximum (including hand luggage), therefore travel light. And note, that suitcases are not allowed up Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Yes, in most hotels you can leave your trekking equipment behind whilst on safari, or swimming gear whilst on the mountain; but on condition, that you return to the same hotel afterwards. If you wish, you can also leave the excess luggage in our office.
It really depends on what type of safari you have chosen. In any case, the following is recommended:
Sunscreen, Lip salve;
Sunglasses, Sun hat;
Insect repellent;
Binoculars (there is one in each vehicle);
Camera with zoom lenses;
Spare film/memory card and batteries;
Toiletries;
Short sleeved T-shirts and at least one Long sleeved shirt;
Shorts and at least one pair of Long trousers;
Warm sweater and light rain jacket;
Closed shoes (especilly for walking safaris and cultural tours);
Flashlight/headlamp (especially if camping);
Sleeping bag (if camping);
Small daypack.
In the Northern Circuit, the longer rain season (masika) starts in mid March and ends in May. There is also a short rain season (vuli) for approximately two weeks in November. Contrary to beliefs, it does not rain all day long; rain showers are usually in the evenings, during the night and in the early mornings. Normally, it does not influence the game viewing. If you are planning to go on a basic camping safari, be prepared for the rains and bring water-proof gear. Safari tents are made of canvas and are waterproof so should stand showers; however, it is not guaranteed that you gear will be kept dry as heavy rains could result in unplanned flooding of campsites; it is therefore recommended that during the rainy season you keep your goods inside the locked vehicle.
Serengeti National Park: all year round;
Ngorongoro Conservation Area: all year round;
Lake Manyara National Park: all year round;
Tarangire National Park: all year but better viewing in a dry season (June-March);

Selous Game Reserve: dry season (June-March).
It is important to follow the park regulations. The guide is not allowed to drive off the tracks to approach animals. Normally, the guide should keep a distance of at least 25 meters from the animals; however, some animals actually come near vehicles or stay close to the tracks. So, you will most likely get »up close and personal« with the wildlife, sometimes close enough to reach out and touch the animals. As much as it sounds good, it is not a good idea; remember that the parks are not Zoos, animals are not tamed and close encounters can be dangerous! It is much better to stick to your camera.
All vehicles are custom made for safaris with pop-up roofs for outstanding viewing. But be careful, Tanzania is very close to the Equator and sun can get very hot during the day. To avoid sunburn please remember to wear sunscreen, a hat (remember covernig your ears and neck) or consider wearing long sleeves.
This is in fact dependent on your itinerary. If you would like to see as many parks as possible and are limited in time, you will be spending more time on transfers between the parks compared to longer itineraries. Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks are situated not too far from Arusha town (from 30 minutes up to three hours). Serengeti and Ngorongoro are more distant, and to fully enjoy these parks you should consider at least a 4-5 day tour. And one more thing, the game viewing in the national parks can be done only within the park opening hours, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.!
All our prices are quoted in US dollars (US$) per person and in general include park entrance fees, conservation fees, camping/hut/lodge costs, full board/a cook, English speaking driver/mountain guides, porters on treks, 4×4 vehicle on safari, staff and vehicle fees, unlimited game viewing within park opening hours and permit validity.
Once the final programme is sent to you for your approval, please read carefully what is included/ excluded in your tour.
As of 1st July 2016 all tourism services (including park fees!) are no longer exempted from the value added tax (VAT); therefore, 18% VAT is applicable and will be included in the final price of your programme.
Items of personal nature (e.g. toiletries, phone calls, souvenirs, etc), additional drinks/ meals/ accommodation/ transfers/ tours/ stop-overs, insurance, tipping and gratuities to the crew are not included in our prices.
When on safari, if you would like to stop at Maasai villages to take photographs, you will have to pay an entrance fee and very likely an extra for taking pictures of the local people (this is negotiable). If you want to have a stopover at the Olduvai Gorge or Laetoli Footprints, please note both need to be pre-booked and pre-paid prior entering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
No. You can photograph as much as you want, so remember to bring spare batteries and film/memory cards. Very likely you will be asked to pay if you take pictures of the locals.
But do note that professional TV crews need to apply in advance for special filming permits.
The use of drones is not allowed unless a special advance permit is approved by the Tanzanian Ministry of Defense. Without requested permit, drones can be confiscated at the point of entry. Drones are strictly prohibited inside the national parks!
Certainly. We have prepared special rates for larger groups. Since the discount depends on the tour you have chosen, please contact us for additional information.
If you are flexible about departure dates and itineraries, we could sign you up to one of our groups with other people who have already booked.
Certainly you can go on your own private safari, together with your driver guide (and a cook, if you decide for a basic camping option). We can also organise scenic fly-in drive-out or fly-in fly-out safaris. Contact us for more details.
Actually it depends on the tour you have chosen; if you have decided for a lodge or tented camping safari and flying between the mainland and the coast, a suitcase would be acceptable. Please note that some local airlines that operate smaller 13-seater “bush” aircrafts may request soft bags and may limit luggage allowance up to 15kgs only, incluidng hand luggage.
For (basic) camping safaris and treks a backpack is a better option.
Some of our pre-arranged Safari Tours already include a visit to the Haadzabe; however, when you book any safari with us, we can add additional night and day to visit the Haadzabe tribe at Lake Eyasi. It can be added to your itinerary after visiting Lake Manyara or on the way back to Arusha from Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
We can also organise to visit »the Bushmen« if you decide to choose to trek the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands on the In Search of Volcanoes Trekking tour (you walk with Maasai and donkeys).
At Lake Eyasi the most exiting activity is to go hunting with »the real Bushmen« and learn how to survive in the wilderness! You can learn something about their unique way of living and unusual customs and traditions. You will be taught how to make fire without matches, how to use bow-and-arrow, and a few words of their unique »click« language.
Yes, in most hotels you can leave behind what you don’t need on safari; but on condition, that you return to the same hotel afterwards. If you wish, you can also leave the excess luggage in our office.
Inside or outside the parks, you can choose from different types of accommodation – from campsites and budget lodges, semi-luxury tented camps to top-end lodges and exclusive luxury tented camps. It actually depends on your budget, and the selected type of your tour.
For more details have a look at our Type of Safari section.
It really depends which mountain you have chosen to trek. More detailed information is given in our Equipment and Preparation Trekking Tips section. In any case, the following is recommended:
waterproof rucksack with daypack;
sleeping bag (covering at least 3 seasons);
roll mats and insulation pads;
comfortable hiking boots, light walking trainers, thongs (flip-flops);
gaiters (useful when encountering snow)
wooden walking stick/ski pole;
sunglasses or snow-goggles;
sun hat;
balaclava or woolen hat;
warm scarf;
gloves and mittens;
thermal underwear;
sweaters/jumpers;
anorak/raincoat;
water and windproof pants and jacket;
t-shirt and long sleeved shirt with collar;
several pairs of socks;
small towel, toiletries, toilet paper;
sunscreen and lip salve;
first-aid kit;
flashlight (head-mounted preferable);
spare batteries;
pocket knife;
sewing/repair kit;
reusable water bottle/s;
whistle;
some plastic bags;
camera with spare film/memory card and batteries;
notepad with pen/pencil.
Crater Highlands in Ngorongoro Conservation Area: all year round;
Mt. Meru in Arusha National Park: all year round;
Kilimanjaro National Park: all year round.
Not at all. If you are in a good physical condition (if you are able to run for half an hour or more without feeling short of breath) you can climb and reach the summit.
Anybody with a sore throat, cold or breathing problems should stay below 3000 meters.
People with cardiac, pulmonary/respiratory or high/low blood pressure problems and the ones undergoing medical treatment should not attempt the mountain at all without consulting their doctors.
Being in the right mental state is also very important; do not push yourself to go if your body is exhausted, or if you have extreme mountain sickness or more serious symptoms.
Acclimatization is a state without Altitude Illness.
Altitude illness (also known as Acute Mountain Sickness, AMS) is caused by the lack of oxygen in the thin mountain air and it can effect anyone, regardless of age or physical condition in altitudes above 1.500 m (5.000 ft).
High altitude is considered to be between 1.500-3.500 m (5.000-11.500 ft), very high altitude between 3.500-5.500 m (11.500-18.000 ft), and extreme altitude above 5.500 m (18.000 ft).
When ascending through the atmosphere, barometric pressure decreases (though the air still contains 21% oxygen) and every breath contains fewer and fewer molecules of oxygen. Body must work harder to obtain oxygen, primarily by breathing faster. As the amount of oxygen in the lungs decreases, the blood becomes less and less efficient at acquiring and transporting oxygen, meaning that no matter how fast you breath, attaining normal blood levels of oxygen is not possible at high altitude.
The major cause of altitude illnesses is going too high too fast. Given time, your body can adapt to the decrease in oxygen molecules at a specific altitude. This process is known as acclimatization and generally takes 1-3 days at that altitude.
A headache, and any one or more of the following symptoms above 2.500 m (8.000 ft) qualifies you for the diagnosis of AMS: Loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting; Fatigue or weakness; Dizziness or light-headedness; Difficulty sleeping; Confusion; Staggering gait.
This information is intended to be educational in nature and should not be construed as medical advice. You should consult your physician regarding any specific medical conditions or questions and before taking any medications!
Altitude illnesses can be prevented by a proper acclimatisation and preventive medications.
A) PROPER ACCLIMATISATION
B) PREVENTIVE MEDICATIONS – DIAMOX
(Acetazolamide) is a prescription drug which allows you to breathe faster in order to metabolize more oxygen, thereby minimizing the symptoms caused by poor oxygenation.
Since it takes a while for Diamox to have an effect, it is advisable to start taking it 24 hours before you go to altitude (125 mg twice a day; morning and night) and continue for at least five days at higher altitude.
Possible side effects include tingling of the lips and finger tips, blurring of vision, and alteration of taste.
As Diamox is a sulfonamide drug, people who are allergic to sulfa drugs should not take it!
Diamox has also been known to cause severe allergic reactions to people with no previous history of Diamox or sulfa allergies. A TRIAL COURSE of the drug BEFORE GOING TO A REMOTE LOCATION where a severe allergic reaction could prove difficult to treat IS A MUST!!!
According to the Kilimanjaro National Park Authorities, the minimum age limit for trekking to the Uhuru Peak is 12 years old.
We highly recommend the longer 7-10 day routes (Lemosho / Shira / Machame) allowing your body to acclimatise naturally; and as long as the Arrow Glacier shortcut is avoided. Do note that on those routes overnight is possible only in tents! For those who want to have the comfort of sleeping in the huts, the Marangu route is the only option.
Lemosho and Shira route join Machame Route at Shira platoe. Machame route is also known as the »Whisky route« and if you choose it, you will see much more of the mountain, as you are ascending from Machame Village to the Uhuru peak and then descending to Mweka Village. You will see much more of the landscape, and acclimatization is done while you are walking (you will be trekking through Karranga Valley and gaining minimal height while keeping yourself active and enjoying the scenery).
The most popular, and sometimes quite crowded, the Marangu Route is also known as the »Coca Cola route«. Choosing this route, you will be ascending and descending on the same path and acclimatization is usually done by one-day resting in the huts.
The trek to the Uhuru peak is hard on any route, but the advantage of the Machame Route is that it is less steep compared to Marangu Route, and most people spend less time on the final ascend walking to the the peak than on Marangu.
Equatorial to arctic conditions are present on Mt. Kilimanjaro. The range begins with the warm, dry plains with average temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius, ascends through a wide belt of wet tropical forest, through zones with generally decreasing temperatures and rainfall, to the summit where there is permanent ice and below freezing temperatures. The temperature at the top of the mountain can get as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius (metric converter).
All depends on the number of people in the group and if camping or hut route has been taken; but average ratio is about 3-5 crew per each trekker (less on bigger groups and more on smaller groups). There is always one leading head mountain guide, with other guides as assistant guides, a cook and porters (one porter for each trekker; each porter carrying 15kg; if more kg an extra porter will be charged additionally 20 USD per day).
In case one person gets sick and has to stay behind or even return, he/she will be accompanied by one of the assistant guides while the rest of the group will continue with the leading guide and remaining assistant guides.
We have a signed MoU with a private company Kilimanjaro Search and Rescue (Kilimanjaro SAR Ltd.) that has been approved by Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) to provide helicopter rescue services on Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru.
If you are dully covered by a reliable and reputable insurance company (including emergency evacuation; high risk activity coverage; medical coverage among others), then all charges for helicopter evacuations shall be met and executed by the client’s Insurance company, as long as you provide your international insurance policy info with a copy of your passport at least 3 working days prior the start of your trek. Climbing Manifest and Evacuation Liability Form of the clients will then be sent to Kilimanjaro SAR Ltd.
Please note that on the ground there is a specific protocol to be followed to activate helicopter rescue.
If you are in a good physical condition and plan enough time to climb the mountain, the odds that you will not reach the Uhuru peak are minimal. People, who do not reach the summit, either get too exhausted or are suffering from strong headaches and nausea due to the altitude. The best advice is to take it slow, drink lots of water (minimum 3 liters per day plus all soups and teas) and pay attention to the symptoms of the altitude illness. We encourage you to share your symptoms with a head guide and/or assistant guides; though they are not doctors but through their experience they can advise if you could continue to the summit or better turn back.
You can not climb Mt. Kilimanjaro nor Mt. Meru if it is not organized by a licensed company. There are strict rules regarding guides, porters and weight of the luggage.
Some of our pre-arranged Safari Tours already include a visit to the Haadzabe; however, when you book any safari with us, we can add additional night and day to visit the Haadzabe tribe at Lake Eyasi. It can be added to your itinerary after visiting Lake Manyara or on the way back to Arusha from Ngorongoro and Serengeti.

You can learn something about their unique way of living and unusual customs and traditions. You will be taught how to make fire without matches, how to use bow-and-arrow, and a few words of their unique »click« language.
On the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands trek you are walking inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and therefore paying all applicable park fees (charged per day). Also on the trek special campsites are used (there are no public ones) which are double the price of the public ones (special campsite is a plain area designated by the park authorties; there are no toilet/shower facilities and the same as for the public campsites all equipment – tents, bedding, food, kitchen etc – needs to be provided and delivered/carried). There are also a number of people escorting you. Beside our trained walking guide, an armed ranger from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority and Maasai warriors will accompany you on trek, with donkeys to carry your supplies and also assist you at times when you might feel too tired to walk by yourselves.
All our prices are quoted in US dollars (US$) per person and in general include park entrance fees, conservation fees, camping/hut/lodge costs, full board/a cook, English speaking driver/mountain guides, porters on treks, 4×4 vehicle on safari, staff and vehicle fees, unlimited game viewing within park opening hours and permit validity.
Once the final programme is sent to you for your approval, please read carefully what is included/ excluded in your tour.
As of 1st July 2016 all tourism services (including park fees!) are no longer exempted from the value added tax (VAT); therefore, 18% VAT is applicable and will be included in the final price of your programme.
Items of personal nature (e.g. toiletries, phone calls, souvenirs, etc), additional drinks/ meals/ accommodation/ transfers/ tours/ stop-overs, insurance, tipping and gratuities to the crew are not included in our prices.

An estimation of 5-10% of the total you have paid for your tour can be considered as a tip to the crew.

You can enjoy holidays on Zanzibar throughout the whole year! It is a tropical island and showers can be expected but they are usually quite short, except during the longer rainy season (masika), when sometimes it can rain throughout the night with some local showers during the day.
Zanzibar is an island with 99% Muslim population and out of respect to their religious conviction it is not courteous to wear shorts and sleeveless shirts in Stone Town (shoulders and knees should be covered – this applies to both men and women!). The same applies also for wearing swim suits in the local villages near your hotel/lodge. However, you can definitely wear beach clothes in the beach areas! And one more thing, topless and nude bathing are prohibited.
If you intend to stay most of your time in your hotel and make a full use of their facilities (especially restaurants), the month of Ramadan will have no effect to your holiday. It can be a little challenging if you feel like eating out or visit Stone Town, as most restaurants and shops close during the day but do stay open longer then usual in the evening. During Ramadan take particular attention to what you wear (cover your shoulders and knees!!) and show respect by not eating, drinking or smoking in the street or other public places during the day. A great time to be on Zanzibar is though at the end of the wholly month, on Eid el-Fitr, with feasting, merrymaking and firecrackers.
The fastest way is by flying; a direct domestic flight to Zanzibar will take approximately one hour and we can do all the necessary bookings for you. If you choose a luxury coach, it will take approximately nine hours to reach Dar es Salaam and another three hours by ferry. Since the last ferry departs from Dar es Salaam early in the afternoon, you will probably have to stay overnight.
While in Tanzania, exchange a few words also in the local Swahili language (Kiswahili). It is not as hard as it looks and you will be surprised on people’s warm response!
It’s easy – words are pronounced exactly as they are written, with the stress nearly always on the second-to-last syllable. Here are a few phrases to help you getting started!
